Why Fisher College?

For more than 100 years, Fisher College has been changing the lives of its students by offering flexible entry requirements and giving them the tools and experiences they need to successfully achieve their career goals. 

Located in the heart of Boston’s prestigious Back Bay neighborhood, Fisher educates students in the exciting, thriving environment of one of the most historic cities in the US. But while the city may be large, Fisher College is comfortably small – a campus where you’ll benefit from the personal attention of a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Together, this delivers a rare educational environment offering the personal attention of a small college combined with the excitement and opportunities only a city like Boston can provide.
