A Community of Scholarship & Faith

Academic Programs & Partnerships

Stonehill’s academic program is complemented by our Honors Program, several Honor Societies and clubs and organizations. The college recognizes and rewards excellence via several types of scholarships, grants and academic awards for students and faculty.

Several academic partnerships also serve to extend the Stonehill experience beyond the boundaries of the physical campus. Stonehill has cultivated several partnerships with institutions like University of Notre Dame, Simmons College, the Marine Studies Consortium and the Southeastern Association for Cooperation of Higher Ed in MA (SACHEM) among others.

Each year, professors partner with students to do joint-research through the Stonehill Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program. Practical professional experience is also gained though our international as domestic internships in Washington D.C., New York City and the metro Boston Area. Stonehill, whose study-abroad program is ranked among the top 20 in the nation, is recognized among its peers as a leader in experiential and community-based learning.

Faith & Service

Established by the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1948, Stonehill’s educational philosophy is based on that of Holy Cross Founder, Blessed Basil Anthony Moreau (1799-1873). Chief among Moreau’s beliefs was that ‘education engages the whole person—mind and heart.’

Throughout their four years at the College, Stonehill students live that philosophy by participating in any one of the College’s community service and volunteer programs where they continue to develop the leadership skills and sense of social responsibility that they brought to our campus as First Year Students. Service-learning is also a component of selected courses at the College.
