Emmanuel College, founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1919, is a coed, residential, Catholic liberal arts and sciences college located in the heart of the city of Boston. Its beautiful 17-acre campus is neighbored by a world-class medical center, two major art museums and Fenway Park. Its unique location allows students and faculty opportunities to explore real-world experiences through internships, research and strategic partnerships within the Longwood Medical Area and the city of Boston. Emmanuel is a community with a lifelong passion for teaching and learning rooted in the commitment to rigorous intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of social justice. Today, Emmanuel College continues to embrace its founding mission to transform lives and make a better world. As a liberal arts and sciences college, Emmanuel enables students to cultivate both the means of acquiring and evaluating knowledge and the imagination to shape new and alternative ways of perceiving, thinking and creating. At Emmanuel College, students develop their intellectual potential, their strong sense of self and their com- mitment to serve others in the community. They become critical thinkers, ethical decision makers and contributing members of society. By offering a variety of career-oriented programs informed by the liberal arts disci- plines, the College prepares students for professional fields and develops the skills and knowledge that can be applied to diverse and changing circumstances. The link between the liberal arts and career-oriented programs at Emmanuel reflects the Col- lege’s sense of responsibility to students who desire to create lives of meaning and service; to identify their changing talents and concerns; to maintain the analytical, communicative and creative skills necessary for growth; to discern worthwhile work; and to bring ethical standards and moral sensitivities to all endeavors. 2009-2010 Academic Catalog General Requirements 7 General Requirements Liberal Arts and Sciences General Information for The Curriculum the natural sciences and the study of cultures The curriculum is designed to allow students outside the United States.
