Mission
Emerson College is committed to excellence in education for communication and the arts. Since its beginning in 1880, the College has been a place for those unique students for whom thought and experience overlap: thinking is linked to doing. At Emerson, students discover their perspectives and put them to use. A rich liberal arts curriculum is paired with concentrated studies in communication sciences and the arts, giving students the perfect balance of knowledge and know-how. Located on Boston Common in the heart of the city's Theatre District, the Emerson campus is home to WERS-FM, the oldest noncommercial radio station in Boston; the historic, 1,200-seat Cutler Majestic Theatre; and Ploughshares, the award winning literary journal for new writing. Emerson's 3,100 undergraduate and 900 graduate students come from across the United States and 50 countries. There are more than 80 student organizations and performance groups, 15 NCAA teams, student publications, and honor societies. The College also sponsors study and internship programs in Los Angeles and Washington, DC; study abroad in the Netherlands, Taiwan, and Czech Republic; and course cross-registration with the six-member Boston ProArts Consortium. Emerson students have access to the highest quality visual and media arts equipment, including sound-treated television studios, digital editing labs, audio post-production suites, film screening room, sound stage, and a professional marketing suite/focus group room. There are seven on-campus facilities and programs to observe speech and hearing therapy, an integrated digital newsroom for aspiring journalists, and an 11-story performance and production center which houses performance and rehearsal space, a theatre design/technology center, makeup lab, and costume shop. There is a fitness center, athletic field, and new gymnasium and campus center. Current construction projects include the building of a permanent home in Hollywood for the College's Los Angeles study and internship program.
