Simmons University

Simmons University is a small private, non-profit university in Boston with a women-centered undergraduate experience, coeducational graduate programs, and a close-knit, career-focused character. Its Fenway location places the university near the Longwood Medical Area, major hospitals, medical research facilities, and Boston’s employer network, while internships, clinical placements, field work, and community partnerships create direct experiential connections. Research laboratories, a Nursing Simulation Center, exercise physiology facilities, a makerspace, and faculty-student research programs support practical collaboration and talent development. Research receives federal support from NIH, NSF, NASA, and other sponsors; the Office of Research and Fellowships supports proposals, awards, compliance, and research opportunities.
