The College
Pine Manor College (PMC) is a small, private four-year liberal arts college preparing women for roles of inclusive leadership and social responsibility.
Mission
Pine Manor College prepares women for inclusive leadership and social responsibility in their workplaces, families, and communities. We pursue this goal through integration of an outcomes-based curriculum and co-curriculum demonstrated by portfolio presentations; active, collaborative, and applied liberal arts learning; and college-wide mentoring teams and community partnerships in an environment that celebrates diversity and respects the common good.

It was chartered in 1930 as an independent junior college and authorized in 1959 to confer Associate's degrees. The College moved to its present campus in 1965 and was authorized to confer Bachelor's degrees in 1977.
