It is known for its religious association, aesthetic sciences main subjects, and its science and religion training. Its scholastic projects are principally undergrad, with some expert graduate instruction advertised. 

The private grounds, in Wollaston Park close Quincy Bay, is served by the Wollaston MBTA station, and was previously the late spring home of Boston leader Josiah Quincy, Jr. Set up as a heavenliness school in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1900, it was migrated to Massachusetts in 1919. 

History 

Established Revival style Pentecostal Collegiate Institute, at the Rhode Island grounds c. 905 

On September 25, 1900, a few come-external Methodist church and laymen associated with the nineteenth century Holiness development opened a co-instructive university establishment at the Garden View House in Saratoga Springs, New York. In a period when pentecostal did not hold the same significance as it does today, but instead served as an equivalent word for blessedness, it was named the Pentecostal Collegiate Institute (PCI) and built up with the end goal of giving liberal instruction and service preparing in a private foundation, four-year school, and philosophical theological college. PCI worked under the support of the Association of Pentecostal Churches of America (APCA), a free relationship of Wesleyan-heavenliness places of worship from eastern Canada down to the Middle Atlantic, and its own particular leading group of instruction, with Lyman C. Pettit as its first president. PCI was likewise licensed by the New York State Education Department's Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and was given state subsidizing on the grounds that a government funded school did not exist there at the time. In 1901, the foundation changed areas in Saratoga Springs, from the Garden View House to the previous Kenmore Hotel. 

Rhode Island 

The arrangements for an aesthetic sciences school were postponed, in any case. There was a dropping out in the middle of Pettit and the APCA, and the school re-opened on September 16, 1902, in North Scituate, Rhode Island, without a post-auxiliary educational programs. Having been the originator of the thought for setting up PCI and having as of now overviewed the Rhode Island area, Fred A. Hillery had bought the North Scituate grounds for the affiliation. Its Greek Revival structures were initially intended for the Smithville Seminary in 1839 by Russell Warren, the main Greek Revival modeler in New England in the nineteenth century, however had been unused since the Lapham Institute shut in 1876. Participation got to be multi-denominational after the move, one and only quarter to 33% of the understudy body being associated with the school's supporting section amid any given scholastic year. In 1907, the APCA converged with the Church of the Nazarene, and PCI got to be one of the initial three schools been authoritatively associated with the Nazarenes in 1908. 

In 1917, it was chosen to re-set up the human sciences school, and on June 14, 1918, the Eastern Nazarene College was contracted with degree-allowing power in the condition of Rhode Island, while auxiliary training would stay as the Eastern Nazarene Academy. Picking another name, be that as it may, would be troublesome: the school was presently an aesthetic sciences school and a Nazarene establishment. Hopefuls included: "Northeastern Nazarene College", "Bresee Memorial College", "Nazarene College of the Northeast", and "Nazarene College and Bresee Theological Institute". General Superintendent John W. Goodwin can be credited with the picked name, as he composed to Hiram F. Reynolds, additionally a general director and a long-term supporter of the school: "I know you will do your best for our New England College. I ought to be happy on the off chance that they would change the name toward the Eastern Nazarene College, or something to that effect. It would appear we should have a school there, despite the fact that it moves along hard and moderate." 

Massachusetts 

In 1919, the school moved to its present area in the Wollaston Park region of Quincy, Massachusetts. The originators needed the new school to be situated close either Harvard or Yale, for its graduates to go to master's level college at either; Quincy won out over New Haven, Connecticut in light of the fact that the instructive models were known not higher in Massachusetts and in light of the fact that president-choose Fred J. Shields would just acknowledge the position if the school were to be situated close Boston. At the season of its buy, the 12-section of land (49,000 m2) property comprised of the Josiah Quincy Mansion (1848), worked by Josiah Quincy, Jr. where Angell Hall now stands, a classroom building called the Manchester (1896), the stables (1848) on the site where Memorial Hall was implicit 1948, and the Canterbury (1901), which is presently Canterbury Hall. From the commander's stroll of the manor, Wollaston Bay was obviously unmistakable down to the "boats entering and leaving the port of Boston." The previous Rhode Island grounds was obtained in 1920 by William S. Holland, who moved his Watchman Institute there in 1923. 

The trustees of the school were joined by the state in 1920, by which time its human sciences personality had been "immovably settled," yet it took one more decade to pick up Bachelor of Arts degree-giving influence from the region. President Floyd W. Nease offered straightforwardly to the General Court of Massachusetts, and safeguarded his appeal before the Joint Committee on Education and the House and Senate on January 28, 1930, approaching money related records, grounds change arranges, and conspicuous group pioneers; the bill went in both houses and was marked by Governor Frank G. Allen on March 12, 1930. The news achieved the school the next evening. The following year under President R. Wayne Gardner, the trustees created an impression reaffirming that the school would remain "particularly interdenominational and cosmopolitan in administration." 

The school seal, outlined by former student Harold G. Gardner and joining the school adage, Via, Veritas, Vita, was received by the trustees on the suggestion of the president and the understudy body in 1932, alongside a school flag to show the images of Verbum, Lux, Spiritus, Crux. The school had been contracted in 1918 with a school of music, President Gardner secured accreditation for the school as an educator preparing foundation with the Massachusetts Department of Education in 1933, and the school would organize a graduate project in philosophy beginning in 1938, along these lines getting to be one of just two Nazarene schools to offer anything past a Bachelor of Arts before 1945. Developmental science was taught in the classroom at any rate as ahead of schedule as 1937, and on May 8, 1941, Governor Leverett Saltonstall affirmed Eastern Nazarene to concede Bachelor of Science degrees. ENC additionally had a helpful degree program in designing with Northeastern University by 1943. 

Under President Gideon B. Williamson on December 3, 1943, the Eastern Nazarene College picked up accreditation from the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and turned into the second Nazarene school to ever increase institutional accreditation. ENC was additionally admitted to the Association of American Colleges in 1944, and an alliance with Quincy City Hospital for medical caretakers' preparation started in that same year. Eastern Nazarene was soon named "Our Quincy's College" by the Quincy Patriot Ledger and has subsequent to kept up great town and outfit relations with the city. The Eastern Nazarene Academy would close after 1955, and beginning in 1956, educators Timothy L. Smith and Charles W. Akers started to build up a junior college for the city of Quincy. In 1964, the graduate course in religious philosophy was ceased and supplanted with a graduate degree program in religion. The school documents were made in 1963 and the principal history of the school, spreading over from 1900 to 1950, was distributed by James R. Cameron in 1968. 

Under President Irwin in 1977, arrangements were made to migrate the school to a 125-section of land (510,000 m2) bundle of area in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, by obtaining the vacillating Charles E. Ellis School for Girls. The proposed move was disliked among understudies and individuals from the Quincy group, even Governor Michael Dukakis encouraged to organization to rethink, however the migration never occurred on the grounds that the school was outbid for the area by a company that needed to build up a modern park there. In 1981, graduate degree offerings were extended, and a quickened program for working grown-ups was begun in 1990. In 1991, a report issued by the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts (AICUM) verified that the school contributed about $10 million to the nearby economy and acquired an expected $7 million from outside the state. In 1992, President Kent Hill affirmed a strategy to just contract Christian educators at the school, a move that mixed debate in the media yet was implied for the procuring of new workforce as opposed to the release of then-current staff, and was regarded by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to be sensible as indicated by social equality laws. A second history of the school, spreading over from 1950 to 2000, was begun in 1993. 

In 1995, the school took a stab at moving again, this time by buying the previous 56-section of land (230,000 m2) grounds of the Boston School for the Deaf in Randolph, Massachusetts, from the Sisters of St. Joseph, yet the arrangement fell through regardless of backing from the town selectmen. Rather, the school started to extend at different areas in Quincy, purchasing a real estate parcel along Hancock Street soon thereafter, and the year after that obtaining an abutting package along Old Colony Avenue, which had once been home to a Howard Johnson's treat plant and official workplaces. In 1997, the school amplified past the metro Boston territory surprisingly when it began a learning attach in focal Massachusetts to serve as a major aspect of its grown-up student.

As open hobby developed in the school and request expanded the school started including new projects including the Pratt High School, Library School, Music Department, and Department of Commerce. In light of the staggering fame of the Department of Commerce, the division severed from the fundamental Institute and shaped its own particular school, under the direction of Norman P. Heffley, individual secretary to Charles Pratt. The Heffley School of Commerce, the previous Pratt Department of Commerce, initially having imparted offices to Pratt developed into what is presently Brooklyn Law School.
