Founded in 1899. Online Since 2013.
For more than a hundred years, Simmons has broken down barriers to offer students a transformative learning experience that links passion with lifelong purpose. Our journey began in 1899 as a small liberal arts college with the revolutionary mission to prepare women to earn independent livelihoods and lead meaningful lives.
Today, students across the country can access a Simmons education with online bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate programs. Whether on campus or online, Simmons programs are built for collaboration and intellectual exploration, and our graduates are empowered to lead positive change in their lives and careers.
Simmons’ rich history as a small college focused on educational access and inclusion remains present in every online program. Online students are valued members of our tight-knit community of lifelong learners. Through years of evaluation and research, we’ve mastered the delivery of high-quality online education that brings people together — and moves them forward.
