Dean College

Dean College, founded in 1865, is an accredited, private, co-educational college with 950 full-time students and 500 part-time students for the full-time equivalent of 1,048. There are more than 17,500 Dean alumni. The broad-based liberal arts curriculum at Dean affords students the freedom to choose among a variety of associate degree majors, which include business, business technology, communications, criminal justice, early childhood education, dance, liberal arts, liberal studies, sport/fitness studies, and theatre arts.

Dean also offers a bachelor of arts degree in dance. Dean's future is based soundly upon its 140-year history of developing programs that meet the changing individual needs of its students. There are currently 25 clubs in which students are invited to participate. Dean's intercollegiate athletic program offers 11 varsity sports teams for men and women. The teams compete under the auspices of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC). Both associations offer opportunity for individual and team recognition as well as possibilities for post-season play regionally and nationally. Dean emphasizes individual attention and prepares students for further studies or employment upon graduation. Dean's beautiful 100-acre campus is located only 30 miles from Boston, and is accessible to Boston by commuter rail.
