- Academics
Our programs combine theory, practice, and real-world experience that will challenge students to see more broadly, think more deeply, and prepare them for leadership in the world. At Simmons, the academic experience extends beyond the walls of the classroom. See below for resources and support services that meet student’s individual needs, their short and long-term goals and provide additional guidance.
- Engagement and Student Life
Simmons strives to build a campus experience and community that is fun, inclusive, and supportive. We believe our students are at their best when we focus on their social, financial, physical, and community well-being. See below for resources that support students across these four pillars.
- Supporting Your Sharks
The well-being of our students is pivotal to our holistic view of student success at Simmons. Students can seek support through on-campus and professionally staffed programs and services. This includes resources specific to food access, off-campus living and commuter student experience, SOS Emergency Fund, and counseling or violence prevention and survivor support. Students can also connect with our off-campus providers for confidential support, resources, and personal and work-life issues.
