Curry College

Curry College is a private college in Milton, Massachusetts. The college was founded in 1879 as the School of Elocution and Expression. Alexander Graham Bell once served on the school board. The school became Curry College in 1943 in honor of the founders of the school. The original location of the school was on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. It was moved to a suburban location in near Milton in 1952. The college now offers 25 undergraduate programs and 4 master’s degree programs. The campus is located near the Blue Hills Reservation and covers 131 acres of land.

Curry College School of Nursing offers six nursing programs, including four BSN programs. The BSN programs include traditional BSN, accelerated BSN, RN to BSN, and LPN to BSN. The remaining two programs include MSN and ADN programs. These programs are accredited by the CCNE. Curry College first began offering nursing programs in 1977 after Boston Children’s Hospital School of Nursing merged their resources with the college. The college continues to offer the first nursing program in the state to be accredited by the CCNE. Students will enjoy small class sizes and clinical experience at world-renowned teaching hospitals, as the college is located in the Boston metro area.
