The Colleges of the Fenway, established in 1996, consists of six neighboring colleges with diverse academic missions. Full-time degree seeking students enrolled at one of these institutions can cross-register at any of the other five colleges at no additional charge, and they have access to the educational resources at all of the schools.

The collaboration's joint initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of education, enriching student experiences, and reducing costs while ensuring that each college keeps its individual identity.

Located in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area of Boston, these colleges are adjacent to the Fenway Cultural District. Each has its own unique mission and offers a world of learning and experience on and off the campus. The Colleges of the Fenway represents over 10,000 full-time undergraduate students, 1,000 full-time faculty, and over 3,000 different course offerings.

A cross-registered student may eat at the college where they are taking the class. This is a great way to spend some time with classmates.

The Fenway Card is the official identification card of MassArt. It is required for identification, access to essential campus services, and offers a convenient prepaid account – Fenway Cash - for making cashless purchases on and around campus. --> More info

Showa Boston Institute
The Showa Boston Institute is a semester-abroad campus for English majors from Showa Women's University in Tokyo, Japan. Colleges of the Fenway students work as "college connectors" in an exciting intercultural program. These structured visits create a "window" through which Showa students learn about student life at American colleges, and American students learn about Japanese culture.

Orchestra
Students with previously active music experience can participate in the Colleges of the Fenway Orchestra. Works by lesser-known composers, including minorities and women, as well as music from the European cultural tradition are performed to celebrate the diversity represented throughout the colleges.
