Future Students

It’s never too early to begin your journey or too late to start again.

Whether you are looking to go back to school to take your healthcare career to the next level, or you are looking to start your very first job in the field, we will help you get the education you need to reach your goals.

Labouré College is a small, independent, private college with a Catholic-based mission to provide exceptional healthcare education to a diverse group of students.

At Labouré College, we specialize in nursing and healthcare education. We have a proud tradition of educating nurses and healthcare professionals in Massachusetts for 125 years!

Some of our programs are offered online, some are on-campus, and some are a combination of both. Some of our programs are designed for healthcare professionals and some are open to career changes or high school students looking to take their first step into healthcare. Whatever your needs, there is a program that is right for you.

She understood the pressure that we were under, and that's invaluable.

“I like that you go at your own pace; you can take a semester off to work if you needed to. I took summer classes, and that speeds it up... it helps to pace yourself better if you have to work or if you have a child.”

Manuela Mumbi, Class of 2016

At Labouré, I'm getting tools to directly do a job.

“As luck would have it, Labouré opened their first [IONM] course while I was looking... A month enrolled into the course, I was employed."

Jake Uminski, Class of 2017

Labouré students are always the strongest, clinically.

“Even kids I've talked to that go to big name schools in Massachusetts are like, 'Wow, you really get to spend that much time in hospitals?' It's great to get that hands-on experience and ... beats just sitting in a classroom."

Melissa Osias, Class of 2017

Flexible scheduling for adult learners

Many of our students are commuting adults with busy schedules and lives outside of school. Most of our programs are flexible to meet your personal needs and the demands of working, and caring for your family.

Working & Studying

Becoming a nurse allows you that flexibility to travel and do your passion, which is nursing.

“This was the place; this was the school that you wanted to come to. ... My passion is nursing, so I figured I would come to the best school around."

Amanda, Associate in Science in Nursing Student

At Labouré, I learned so much and gained the skills that I could go out into the workforce and be confident and be successful.

“Labouré makes it very easy to take online classes, but you still have the interaction in the school as well because you meet about 2 - 3 times per semester."

Stephanie Harding, RN, RN-BSN Student

I knew that it was something I wanted to do.

“Even though it was online, it still had the feel of being a classroom... Never a day goes by that I doubt the decision to come to Labouré."
