Vision Emmanuel will be widely esteemed as the college in the heart of Boston that leads the nation in combining an extraordinary liberal arts and sciences edu- cation in the Catholic intellectual tradition with a commitment to strong rela- tionships, ethical values and service to others. Students will choose Emmanuel as the place to develop in every respect while preparing for lives of leadership, professional achievement, global engagement and profound purpose. Emmanuel College’s longstanding tradition as a trailblazing institution began with its founding by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1919 as New England’s first Catholic college for women. Today, as the only Catholic college in the heart of Boston, Emmanuel continues to honor this powerful and timeless legacy. Situated in the Fenway neighborhood, Emmanuel’s beautiful residential campus is home to more than 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students from across the nation and around the world. Emmanuel both enriches and draws inspiration from the vibrant, innovative city that surrounds it. In this dynamic environment, students take advantage of boundless oppor­ tunities to expand their worldview through rigorous coursework, collaborations with distinguished and dedicated faculty, active participation in our campus community, and countless internship and career opportunities throughout the Boston area and beyond. Emmanuel’s more than 50 programs in the sciences, liberal arts and business foster intellectual exploration, spirited discourse and substantive learning experiences beyond the classroom that honor our commitment to educate the whole person and prepare students to emerge as tomorrow’s leaders. With a solid grounding in the Catholic intel­ lectual tradition, robust academic programs and an ongoing commitment to provide an ethical and relevant 21st­century education, Emmanuel inspires students to discover— and begin to fulfill—their life’s profound purpose. 2017-2018 Academic Catalog 6 Emmanuel College 7 General Academic Requirements General Information for Arts and Sciences The Curriculum Foundation Skills Competency The Arts and Sciences undergraduate pro­ Students are required to demonstrate gram requires a minimum of 128 credit minimum competency in areas Emmanuel hours of study.
