The institution, founded in 1879 as the School of Elocution and Expression, has evolved from its origins in speech and drama education to become a private liberal arts college. The campus features a mix of traditional New England and modern architecture, with student residences housing the majority of undergraduates in campus dormitories and suite-style accommodations. Curry's academic programs emphasize business, nursing, criminal justice, and education, while the Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL) serves as a nationally recognized support program for students with learning differences. The college competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Colonels, participating in the Commonwealth Coast Conference.
