Emerson College (reviews)

Not many years after the university was founded, it started to expand. Firstly, the college moved to Odd Fellows Hall in Berkeley and Tremont Streets in South Boston. With the new location, the college’s first library was established in 1892. Soonly after, at the turn of the century, the school was purchased by faculty members, and the college rented a new location in Chickering Hall.

In 1924, the school offered its first course in Journalism. In the 1950s, the college suffered from a severe financial crisis and sought 50,000 dollars in emergency funding, which helped them to recover a stable financial situation. In 1994, the college started to go online, and in 1998 Emerson College purchased the Walker Building, which currently hosts the school’s Institutional Advancement Department, Department of Television, Radio, Film Production, and the Government and Community Relations department, as well as the library and many of its classrooms. In 2005, the historic Paramount Theatre was purchased, and after some renovation work, it was officially opened in 2010.
