Collaboration
The five (5) colleges, each with its own unique mission, offer specialized learning and experience on and off campus. Collectively, the COF represent more than 12,000 full-time undergraduate students (16% of all students attending four-year colleges in greater Boston), 6500 graduate students, nearly 700 full-time faculty, and more than 2300 course offerings.[1] Shared initiatives among the six colleges are aimed at enhancing the quality of education, enriching student experiences and reducing costs through sharing of resources. For example, the second floor of a new dormitory at MassArt is a Student Health Center, shared by students of MassArt, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and MCPHS University.[2][3]
The Consortium has an agreement with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to extend University Membership benefits to all associated students, faculty, and staff.
Collaborative student opportunities include formal cross-registration which allows access to courses otherwise not available on the student’s home campus. As of 2016[update], approximately 400 students take advantage of cross-registration each semester.[1] Students may use career centers, intramural sports, performing arts, student life programs and activities, and study-abroad opportunities at other schools in the consortium. Students may also participate in shared social events planned by the Colleges of the Fenway and various groups throughout the campuses. Students may live at their school of attendance or in the campus dormitories of the other member schools.[1]
