Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science

The New England College of Optometry (NECO) is a renowned institution in the realm of eye care and vision science. Located in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, NECO carries the distinction of being one of the longest-standing educational bodies focusing exclusively on optometry in the United States.

History[edit | edit source]

NECO's roots can be traced back to its original establishment as the Klein School of Optics in 1894. Founded by the vision-driven ophthalmologist, Dr. August Andreas Klein, the institution began its journey at the vanguard of optometric education. Over the years, as the college grew and evolved, it underwent several relocations within Boston and witnessed name changes reflecting its growing stature and expanding vision. Once known as the Massachusetts School of Optometry and later, the Massachusetts College of Optometry, it finally settled in the Back Bay area of Boston, embracing its present-day identity.

Academic Excellence[edit | edit source]

With an enrollment exceeding 500 students, NECO stands as a beacon of excellence in optometric education. The institution boasts a comprehensive curriculum that blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills, ensuring its graduates are well-equipped to serve the community and further the field of optometry.

Facilities[edit | edit source]

The college's strategic location in the Back Bay section of Boston ensures it remains at the nexus of academic, cultural, and urban experiences. Students have access to state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge research opportunities, and an environment that fosters holistic learning.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

The New England College of Optometry is not just a place of learning; it's a legacy. From its inception in the late 19th century to its present-day prominence, NECO continues to shape the future of optometry and eye care, both nationally and globally.
