Pine Manor College (PMC) was a private college in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1911 and was historically a women's college until 2014. Originally the college was a post-graduate program of Dana Hall School, an all-girls preparatory high school, although later on it was an independent college serving primarily students of color.

In May 2020, with the institution's longterm financial instability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Boston College entered into an integration agreement with the college, in a graduated scheme that allowed outgoing Pine Manor students to study on their campus through the 2022 school year.[1] In 2022, Boston College announced plans for the Pine Manor Institute for Student Success, an initiative to enhance educational opportunity for underrepresented, first generation students. The Pine Manor Institute (PMI) will include a cost-free summer enrichment program for students in grades 8-12 starting in June 2022, and an associate’s degree-granting two-year residential college starting in 2024.
