Curry College

What Curry College does

Curry College is a private nonprofit institution of higher education founded in 1879 and located in Milton, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. The college serves undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education students through two primary academic schools — the School of Nursing and Health Sciences and the School of Business and Technology — supplemented by specialized support programs including the Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL) and the Neurodiversity Center for Excellence, which serve students with learning differences and neurodivergent learners. The institution positions itself as career-focused, offering the only job guarantee program (the Curry Commitment) among Massachusetts colleges, where graduates without a job offer within six months receive federal loan payment, a paid internship, or tuition for graduate credits.

The college's product portfolio spans traditional four-year undergraduate degrees, accelerated and online graduate programs (including a 100% online 5th Year MBA), associate-level nursing credentials, and continuing education pathways. Recent additions include the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program launched in April 2026 following the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing approval, enabled by the February 2026 acquisition of Labouré College of Healthcare's nursing programs and the establishment of the Labouré Center for Advancing Healthcare Opportunities. The college does not operate proprietary technology platforms; its infrastructure consists of standard third-party tools including Canvas LMS for course delivery, Coursedog for academic catalog management, Salesforce for admissions CRM, and Handshake for internship and job placement.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees from degree-seeking students, with pricing varying by program — the 5th Year MBA is priced under $20,000 total with an alumni tuition rate 20% below standard tuition, while traditional undergraduate scholarships up to $30,000 are referenced. The college employs 251-500 staff, governs through an independent Board of Trustees, and operates as a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation with no parent company, private equity ownership, or venture capital backing. Student placements span a 500+ internship partner network across Greater Boston, including Boston Children's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Mass General Brigham, Boston Medical Center, Gillette Stadium, and ESPN. As a 501(c)-style nonprofit, surplus revenue is reinvested into academic programs, faculty, and student services.
