Academics

Here every class is taught by a professor, not a teaching

assistant, creating a deep, personal student/faculty

relationship that begins day one. This is an engaged,

energetic faculty with global connections in their fields.

The classes are small; the horizon is huge.

With more than 30 areas of study to explore, at

Emmanuel College you will flex muscles of both the

mind and the heart as you develop the ability to

acquire and evaluate knowledge, and the imagination

to shape new ways of perceiving, thinking and creating.

This is the basis of a Catholic liberal arts and sciences

education. To develop your intellectual potential, your

sense of self and your commitment to serve others in the

community. To become a critical thinker, an ethical decision

maker and a contributing member of the world around you.

At Emmanuel, Boston is your extended classroom

We live in a vibrant international, culturally rich,

sports-crazy and intellectually engaged city, and

we take advantage of it at every turn.

This is your introduction to the world. Ideas grow,

passions are sparked and connections are made

when you begin to think globally and creatively.

Emmanuel College was founded on these ideas.

And on the mission to open doors through education

and to lead, to act and to make a difference in this world.

For art class, you won’t just look at slides of Claude

Monet’s Water Lilies, you’ll stand before the painting

itself in the Museum of Fine Arts. In chemistry, you

won’t just read about pH levels, runoff and ecosystems,

you’ll analyze them in the collection of brooks, ponds

and culverts known as Boston’s Muddy River.Emmanuel College

you’ll work to make positive change in the world.

Our service learning courses in art or culture, science

or medicine, history or business give local organizations

meaningful support, and you significant experience

that extends your classroom out into the community.

Any college can impart lessons about life.

The office of Internships and career Development has a

variety of resources to help you in all phases of your career

development, from initial assessments to skill-building workshops

and postings for both internships and, eventually, jobs.

Should further education be in your future, graduate school preparation will help ready you for the GRE, GMAT, MCAT

and LSAT exams, with everything from applications and

timelines to study guides and test prep.

“ There is a sense of newness here, a revitalization of our mission, and an openness to growth.”

Sister Mary Johnson, SND

The Emmanuel Learning Experience

We are a community with a lifelong passion for

teaching and learning, rooted in the commitment to

rigorous intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of truth.

Our goal is to instill in you the knowledge, skills and

habits of a mind developed through the study of the

liberal arts and sciences. We believe that the concepts

and the vocabulary, as well as the creative and critical

thinking, of the liberal arts and sciences are basic to

your intellectual, aesthetic and moral development.

In short, a full and meaningful life.

At Emmanuel, courses taught by teams of professors

bring more than one perspective to the same subject

matter. The sciences team with philosophy, for example,

for a spirited discussion on the moral and ethical

implications of an exciting, cutting-edge breakthrough.

It’s all part of our founding mission to transform lives

and make a better world with a strong values-based

education, integrating an exploration of human values

and ethical issues with empirical facts and a traditional

body of knowledge.

12

Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur

In 1919, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, who believe

that education is the greatest work on earth, opened Emmanuel

College to provide an education to those who might otherwise

not have the opportunity to achieve one. Their mission was

clear: making known God’s goodness … educating for life.

The rigorous intellect, the vibrant faith and the joyful spirit of

this powerful mission are embodied in Sister Janet Eisner, SND,

who first came to Emmanuel as a student. She returned as

a professor, served as the Chair of the English Department

and the Director of Admissions, and now serves as President.

Sister Janet loves the students of Emmanuel College.

But make no mistake, her expectations are high.

This is an education that will make a difference in

your life. In return, it is expected that you will make

a difference in the lives of others.

13

Carolyn A. Lynch Institute

In this institute our personal commitment to provide

urban elementary and secondary school children with

a top-quality education in mathematics, science and

technology is met with a powerful combination of

resources and training for you, their future teacher.

In this innovative teaching laboratory, generously funded by

the Lynch Foundation, we help you become fluent in “smart

classroom” technologies, empower your dedication with

special skills that will help you transform the lives of kids

who sorely need your help, and award scholarships.

Colleges of the Fenway

Six colleges are better than one. Especially when your five

neighbors have the campuses and special areas of study of the

Massachusetts College of Art and Design, the Massachusetts

College of Pharmacy and Health Services, Simmons College,

Wentworth Institute of Technology and Wheelock College.

Together, we share library privileges, cross-register

for each other’s courses, play in our joint orchestra,

compete in intramural sports and more. This is

city life at its best, hanging out with the neighbors.

Research, Publishing& Presentations

In most colleges, working on major research projects

shoulder-to-shoulder with faculty is for graduate students,

who fight to be noticed in the sea of students eager for

the privilege of stepping into world-class research labs.

In most colleges, undergrads never see their work in print.

But Emmanuel is not most colleges. This is a personal

college committed to delivering a powerful punch.

Here, professors are always on the lookout for outstanding

poems that can be published in anthologies, and papers

that can be delivered at national conferences in science,

psychology or political science.

Faculty members have reputations and connections all

over the world, but they choose to teach at Emmanuel

because they are driven to be part of your transformation.

Just ask any of these students.

“We want students to leave saying, ‘That was awesome. What’s next? I’m ready.’”

Internships & Career Development

Intellectual rigor meets practical reality and theory meets

practice in valuable internships across all disciplines. Your

internship will be a pivotal component of your educational

experience and an essential opportunity in your journey

toward both a professional career and graduate school.

Here in Boston, Emmanuel College has partnerships across a

broad spectrum of arenas, from marketing to financial services,

from politics to communications, from law enforcement to

health care. From Fortune 500 to non-profit, an internship will

give you an on-the-spot view of how the world works. A world

you are eager to join. A world you may change someday.

A world that welcomes Emmanuel students like you.

Daniel D’Amato, Class of 2010

Major: Management Internship: puMA

“ I learned from this laid-back but professional office environment what no

classroom could ever teach me. Although course work definitely prepared me for

the real world, my internship helped my mindset transition from that of a student

to a full-time professional. I gained confidence and produced quality work working

for the shoes I’ve worn all my life!”

Kana Ito, Class of 2010

International student from Japan Major: Art history Internship: Museum of fine Arts, Boston

“ I helped build the MFA’s online learning tool, which transforms exhibitions

into online galleries that teachers and students can access at any time.

For each gallery I developed learning goals, background readings,

classroom activities and online resources. I discovered how digital

media can create a fun, modern way to learn and teach through art.”

Kara o’shea, Class of 2010

Major: english/communications Internship: fairmont copley plaza hotel

“ At the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel I worked with the regional director of public

relations. I wrote press releases for events such as Boston’s Winter Restaurant Week

and worked with social media tools promoting the multiple Fairmont hotels. My

goal was to learn about PR within the hospitality industry. I definitely achieved it.”

christine haggerty, Class of 2010

Major: global studies Internship: o’neill and Associates

“ My time at O’Neill and Associates offered me insight into the bigger picture

of working in government and public relations and helped me determine a

potential career. It was fascinating getting to work with some of the most

well-known companies in Boston. I am excited to see where I can go from here.”

Your Network of Alumni

They came to Emmanuel as you will, eager

for the knowledge of the past and the skills

for the future, and perhaps a little nervous.

They left four years later curious, confident

and prepared for a lifetime of personal fulfillment

and professional achievement, treating patients in

hospitals and handling investments in financial firms.

Teaching kids in schools all across the country,

keeping you on the edge of your seat in TV dramas

and looking for cures in research labs.

The alumni of Emmanuel are not just those who

came before you, they are a lifelong network

of contacts and friends from coast to coast and

continent to continent.

They’re not looking for you to catch up with them,

they want to see you go beyond them.

“ It was research opportunities such as my internship with Merck Research

Laboratories—Boston that got me where I am today. The experience offered

valuable insight into the industry, and I was excited to be challenged by

such an environment while representing the College.”

“ The opportunity to be fully immersed in your field of interest is so important

as a student, especially when you’re not sure what you want to do after

graduation. This turned out to be a great fit for me. I’m sure my internship

experience was a huge factor in their decision to hire me.”

Your Network of Alumni

What is the value of a Catholic liberal arts and sciences

education? The freedom to explore your mind and your

heart and learn what you really want to do with your life.

For many Emmanuel students, that means graduate school.

Abigail clark, Class of 2010

M.s. candidate, Zoology, university of new hampshire “ Emmanuel undoubtedly prepared me for the next stage in my life,

which is pursuing graduate studies. While studying at Emmanuel, my personal goal was to intern at the New England Aquarium. I’m grateful to have achieved it. My experience definitely encouraged me to seek more answers surrounding marine life.”

chris Borges, Class of 2010

ph.D. candidate, Immunology, harvard Medical school “ I had opportunities at Emmanuel that few undergraduates could imagine.

I was a part of the Neuro-Immunology Research Project all four years, and as a junior, I was chosen from a pool of mostly post-doctoral students and hospital residents to present research at the American Transplant Congress. Harvard Medical School will train me, but Emmanuel is where I realized I wanted to dedicate the rest of my life to immunology and bone marrow transplantation research.”

Kristen Breslin, Class of 2010

M.B.A./M.s. candidate, Accounting, northeastern university “ Emmanuel helped me to discover a career path. From my internship with

the accounting firm of Robert Goodman, P.C., I learned how an accounting firm works from people who were willing to help me grow. And I learned that when I graduate a small-sized office is the ideal environment for me, as it allows for more opportunity to learn and take on responsibility.”

ryan rivard, Class of 2009

M.s. candidate, Mental health counseling, Boston college “ My experiences at Emmanuel empowered me with knowledge I use every day as I

continue my studies at Boston College. In the Alternative Spring Break program, I traveled to places where people needed help. I visited New Jersey, Arizona and also traveled to Ecuador. Whether I was sorting out truckloads, working in health clinics or serving meals in homeless shelters, it was great to know my efforts made an impact on people.”
