Simmons College

Simmons College is a private, nonsectarian institution for undergraduate women and graduate programs for women and men. The College was founded through the will of John Simmons, a Boston merchant, who believed that women should prepare themselves for lifelong careers in professional fields, as well as receive a comprehensive education. Simmons was chartered in 1899, welcomed its first class in 1902, and today has more than 65,273 alumnae and alumni throughout the world. For 113 years, Simmons has provided a high quality education for undergraduate women and for graduate women and men, but with a difference: the Simmons philosophy of comprehensive education enables a student to combine the arts, sciences, and humanities with professional preparation in a variety of fields.

Simmons has provided higher education programs for nurses since its beginning in 1902 and for nurse practitioners since 1978. The Nursing Department consists of baccalaureate (generalist/pre-licensure) and master's (specialist) degree granting curricula and a post master's Doctorate of Nursing Practice. Pre-licensure programs include the following:
The traditional baccalaureate program for women 18-22 years of age
Dix Scholars programs: a 14- month accelerated program for individuals with a previous BA/BS and a two or three year option for those without a baccalaureate degree or those desiring a part- time program
The RN-BS Program for nurses without a baccalaureate degree
The 5 Year BS- MS Program: pre-licensure curriculum
The Direct Entry Program: pre-licensure curriculum
