Overview
Founded in 1939 by Eleanor Tupper and George O. Bird as a women's junior college, Endicott College became a four-year coeducational institution in 1994 and has since grown into a comprehensive private college. It was one of the first colleges in the country to require internships as part of its academic programs, a distinctive feature that remains central to its identity today. Located on the scenic North Shore of Massachusetts, the college has built a reputation for practical, career-oriented education across business, health sciences, education, and the arts.
