“A specialized Catholic healthcare college with over 130 years of nursing tradition — ceasing operations August 2026 with programs transitioning to Curry College.”
INSTITUTIONAL NOTICE: Labouré College of Healthcare announced in February 2026 that it will cease academic operations at the end of August 2026. Its nursing programs have been acquired by Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts, which will continue offering them through the Labouré Center for Advancing Healthcare Opportunity at Curry College. Current students are completing their degrees without interruption, with tuition rates frozen and credits transferring fully to Curry College. Founded in 1892 by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul through the Carney Hospital Training School for Nurses in South Boston, Labouré College has served as the largest educator of nurses in the Boston area for well over a century. Named for Saint Catherine Labouré, the college earned degree-granting authority in 1971 and trained thousands of healthcare professionals who serve communities across Greater Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The college built a national reputation for rigorous clinical training, with an Associate of Science in Nursing ranked among the highest-paying associate degrees in the US, and a 2024 NCLEX-RN pass rate of 91 percent — well above the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing minimum requirement of 80 percent. Labouré programs focused exclusively on healthcare professions — nursing, health science, and healthcare administration — with particular emphasis on serving adult learners, English-language learners, working healthcare workers, and underrepresented communities in Greater Boston. The accelerated two-year Associate of Science in Nursing allowed graduates to begin working as registered nurses two years earlier than traditional four-year programs, and RN graduates could then enroll in the fully online RN-to-BSN completion track while continuing to earn clinical experience. For prospective students, Curry College at its Milton campus will continue this healthcare education mission through the Labouré Center.
