Curry College is a private college in Milton, Massachusetts, United States. Founded as the School of Elocution and Expression by Anna Baright in 1879, in 1885 it was taken over and renamed by Samuel Silas Curry.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 48% graduation rate and 68% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $18,320, and for students who do complete their degree, median earnings of $51,100 at 10 years are reasonable for a small private college. Worth considering if you're drawn to the small campus environment in Milton and have a clear plan to stay on track, but ask hard questions about what support systems exist to help students actually finish.
