Endicott College offers a residential oceanfront campus in Beverly, Massachusetts, 20 miles north of Boston. Students take part in campus events, community activities, and Gull spirit while living among residential buildings and academic facilities. The campus also provides views of the Atlantic and access to a location close to Boston.

Academic programs are connected to Endicott’s experiential approach. The college’s four-year internship model begins in the freshman year, giving students time to explore majors, build practical experience, and develop professional connections. Study abroad and intern abroad opportunities extend this approach beyond campus. Graduate and professional students can choose master’s, certificate, and doctoral programs in online, hybrid, or in-person formats.

Students benefit from engaged faculty and an average student-faculty ratio of 17:1. Career resources support preparation during college and after graduation. Endicott reports that 89% of employed students said their jobs were related to their majors. International students should consider how the internship, study abroad, and intern abroad options fit their academic plans, as well as the practical differences between residential undergraduate study and the flexible formats available in graduate and professional education.
