School Information
"Many colleges look the same, but not all colleges are the same, and Curry College is distinct and special for a number of reasons. The focus we provide on personal attention and experiential learning are not just things we do, but attributes at which we excel, in a way that sets Curry apart from other colleges." The college has a 12:1 student-faculty ratio and over 87 majors, minors, and concentrations.
