Education in Action
Get in the Art Scene
Explore Simmons's New York Institute — and the host of careers in the arts and art administration — that Simmons can prepare you for. Visit the Art and Music Department to learn about all the Arts programs we offer.
Mentors and Role Models
Simmons professors are distinguished researchers, published authors, Fulbright scholars, health professionals, and community leaders. More than 50 percent are women. All are dedicated to teaching and to personally mentoring their students.
(Don't be surprised if professors tell you to email or call them at home with questions or concerns.)
Education in Action
Find a Green Solution
Simmons does more than just talk the talk about greening its campus; the community also walks the walk. Assistant Professor Rich Gurney of the Simmons Chemistry department has been instrumental in bringing "green chemistry" to campus over the last four years, and his students have taken his crusade to both the national and international arenas.
Career Preparation
At Simmons, we believe the best way to prepare for a career is to experience it. Dive right in and test the waters: gain skills, confidence, and perspective. Come out of school with an impressive resume and a network of professional contacts.

Amanda Gross '11 Reflects on Her Trip to South Africa
September 10, 2009
Although I had read about South Africa in Professor Dan Connell's African Government and Politics class, and had learned about the oppression and injustice of its past, there was nothing like seeing the aftermath of that history first hand.
A Personal Touch
September 1, 2009
I am an international student from Indonesia and I initially applied to eight colleges in the United States. I was accepted by most of them, but I still remember my excitement when I got home from school and saw the correspondence packet from Simmons College. Apart from the excitement of being accepted by Simmons, and being awarded an academic-excellence scholarship, what really moved me was the acceptance letter itself. Unlike other universities, Simmons's response letter was not an automated reply in a standard template. It had a personal touch.
The Best Fit for Me
September 1, 2009
After visiting countless campuses, I stepped onto the Simmons campus and felt like I was at home. Like the generations of women before me, I felt a sudden connection, as if there was a gravitational force pulling me in.
