The mission of Albertus Magnus College is to provide men and women with an education that promotes the search for truth in all its dimensions and is practical in its application. Founded by the Dominican Sisters of Saint Mary of the Springs, Albertus Magnus College, faithful to its Catholic heritage and the Judeo-Christian tradition, remains dedicated to providing an opportunity for learning which responds to the academic needs and ethical challenges of it students and of society.
Albertus Magnus College is a small private liberal arts college in New Haven, Connecticut. It is located about two miles from the central campus of Yale University in a residential area near the border with Hamden. The neighborhood is on Prospect Street just above Edgerton park and near East Rock. The college uses several of the area's historic 19th-century mansions as classroom and administrative buildings.
Since 1926, the College has acquired several mansions, which are now used for student housing and administration. Rosary Hall has become the College library. The latest new construction on campus is the Academic Center for Science, Art and Technology, which opened for classes in January 2005 and designed by Barry Svigals.
Albertus Magnus College became co-educational in all its programs in 1985. In the same year, the Continuing Education Division expanded its offerings for the adult learner to include a pioneering Accelerated Degree Program. In 1994, the College introduced New Dimensions, an alternative educational delivery system focused on business, also for the adult learner. This program now includes undergraduate and graduate courses.
The Cosgrove, Marcus, Messer Athletic Center opened in 1989. This indoor sports and recreation center houses a pool, a gymnasium and indoor track, racquetball and volleyball courts, weight and dance rooms, and a new fitness center. The Center is part of a six million dollar athletic complex featuring a soccer field, an outdoor track and tennis courts.
In 1992, Albertus Magnus offered its first graduate program, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. Since then, the College has added four other graduate programs: Master of Science in Management; Master of Arts in Art Therapy, the only degree of its kind in Connecticut; and, in New Haven and Hartford, classes for the Master of Business Administration. In June 2005, the College received approval from the State of Connecticut for a new Master of Arts in Leadership.
