Messina College is an undergraduate constituent college of Boston College. Until 2020 the school was an independent private college in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts referred to as "Pine Manor College" (PMC).
The school was founded in 1911 as a post-graduate program of Dana Hall School, an all-girls preparatory high school. Later becoming independent, it was historically a women's college. In 2014, it became a co-ed college serving primarily students of color. In May 2020, with Pine Manor College's long-term financial instability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Boston College stepped in, integrating PMC into its institutional structure. After at first being called the Pine Manor Institute for Student Success, the former PMC campus is now known as Messina College.
