Curry College occupies a suburban 131-acre campus in Milton, Massachusetts, located seven miles south of downtown Boston. 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.
