About

The New England College of Optometry (NECO) in Boston, Massachusetts, is the oldest continuously operating college of optometry in the United States, renowned for its rigorous Doctor of Optometry (OD) and specialized dual-degree and accelerated programs. Academic strength is anchored by NECO’s distinctive clinical network—NECO Center for Eye Care—which integrates students into diverse urban community health centers, VA hospitals, and specialized pediatric clinics starting in their very first year. The small, highly focused campus culture brings together a collaborative, close-knit cohort of healthcare professionals who trade a traditional collegiate quad for the historic brownstones of Boston's Back Bay. NECO sets itself apart through this immersive early patient-care model and its deep institutional commitment to serving underserved populations throughout greater Boston.
