Welcome to Colleges of the Fenway

Founded in 1996, Colleges of the Fenway (COF) is a collaboration between five neighboring Boston-based higher education institutions. COF was created with the mission of adding value to student academic and social life while seeking innovative methods of containing the costs of higher education. Collectively, the institutions represent more than 12,000 undergraduate students, comprising 12.4% of the total Boston population of undergraduate students attending four-year institutions. As the landscape of higher education continues to evolve, we remain collaborators and partners in innovating to support the success of our member institutions.
