Fisher College, founded in 1903, is a Boston-based accredited independent
college, offering curricula that integrate a liberal education with career
and pre-professional programs designed to meet the changing needs of both
traditional and non-traditional learners. Through its degree level and certificate
programs, Fisher College has endeavored to create a learning environment
that fosters the intellectual growth of its students, promotes respect for
self and others, and seeks to develop the inherent capacities of each individual
student to prepare for a full, satisfying, and productive professional and
cultural life. Graduates of Fisher College are expected to be informed decision-makers,
prepared for immediate career entry or further higher education, and able
to demonstrate an understanding of and appreciation for the values of all
cultures.
It
has been the tradition of Fisher College to serve the educational needs of
different populations. In its Day Division, Fisher provides career and transfer
programs in a small college setting. This division actively seeks a diverse
student population reflecting a cross section of American and international
cultures. The Division of Continuing and Distance Education offers degree and
certificate programs both online and at locations in Southeastern Massachusetts
to a broad spectrum of learners as well as to business and industry through
courses, seminars, workshops, and training sessions.
