Laboure College

What Laboure College does

Labouré College of Healthcare is an independent, private, non-profit Catholic institution founded in 1892 in Milton, Massachusetts, that specializes exclusively in nursing and allied-health career education. It delivers a portfolio of associate degrees (Nursing, LPN-to-RN, Health Science, Respiratory Care), bachelor's degrees (RN-to-BSN, Healthcare Administration), and certificates (Intraoperative Neuromonitoring, Neurodiagnostic Technology). Its core technology model is a hybrid learning platform combining in-person simulation-lab and clinical training with approximately 80% online coursework for the RN-BSN program, all delivered through a Brightspace LMS and a Jenzabar student information system; the physical platform includes dedicated simulation labs equipped with PPE clinical-preparation equipment.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through tuition charged per credit hour (e.g., $487/credit for the Neurodiagnostic Technology certificate, $14,123 for the 29-credit program plus $1,560 in additional fees), supplemented by a $250 matriculation fee, federal Pell Grants and student loans, and modest philanthropic contributions (~$179,000 in FY2024). The college served approximately 1,641 students during the CARES Act era and operates with 101–250 employees, serving an average student age of 32 who is typically balancing school with work and family responsibilities. The go-to-market relies on direct admissions (website and phone), the MA Guarantee articulation with all Massachusetts community colleges for transfer students, a dedicated veterans outreach channel with fee waivers, community-based information sessions, and the annual Massachusetts Care Awards ceremony — supported by content marketing and organic social rather than paid acquisition. The institution announced in February 2026 that it will voluntarily withdraw its NECHE accreditation and transition nursing programs to Curry College, ceasing all academic operations on August 31, 2026.

Emerging players

• Curry College: Private Milton, Massachusetts college assuming Labouré's nursing programs from Fall 2026 via the Labouré Center. Direct comparator by virtue of the program transition, overlapping service area, and shared workforce-development mission.

Direct peers

• Regis College: Catholic, private Massachusetts college in Weston offering associate, bachelor's, and graduate nursing programs (LPN-BSN, RN-BSN, MSN, DNP). Closely comparable on Catholic mission, hybrid format for working adults, and regional employer relationships.
• Simmons University (College of Nursing and Health Sciences): Private Boston university with a well-established nursing program spanning BSN, RN-BSN, MSN, and DNP tracks. Comparable as a private, urban, women-founded institution serving diverse adult learners pursuing healthcare careers.
• Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS): Boston-based private university exclusively focused on health sciences (nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, dental hygiene). Most direct comparator on positioning as a healthcare-only degree-granting institution; also shares past employment ties through President Hsu.
• MGH Institute of Health Professions: Independent health-professions graduate school in Boston offering direct-entry and accelerated nursing programs (ASN, BSN, DNP). Closest category analogue as a single-purpose healthcare education institution, sharing workforce-development mission and Massachusetts employer relationships.
• Brockton Hospital School of Nursing: Hospital-based diploma/associate nursing program in southeastern Massachusetts. Direct historical analogue to Labouré's origin as a hospital training school and competes for similar LPN-to-RN and adult-learner candidates in the Greater Boston market.
• University of Massachusetts Boston (College of Nursing and Health Sciences): Public Boston university offering BSN, RN-BSN, and graduate nursing programs with a stated focus on diverse, urban healthcare workforce. Closest public-sector direct comparator and a fellow MA Guarantee-eligible transfer destination.

Broad incumbents

• Northeastern University (Bouvé College of Health Sciences): Large Boston research university with a comprehensive co-op nursing program spanning BSN through PhD. Competes for the same transfer and adult-learner pool in Greater Boston and shares co-op/clinical partnership infrastructure with the same hospital systems.
• Boston College Connell School of Nursing: Private Catholic research university with a top-ranked nursing school offering BSN, MSN, DNP, and PhD programs. Comparable on Catholic mission, Boston location, and strong hospital clinical partnerships, though larger and more selective than Labouré.

Regional players

• Quincy College: Public community college south of Boston offering associate nursing and LPN programs with similar adult-learner and commuter-student focus. Comparable as a regional transfer source and competitor for ASN-bound adult learners in the South Shore corridor.
