Students leave with Associate Degrees in one of 15 majors (98% are accepted for transfer to four-year colleges and universities) or a Bachelor's degree in one of several majors including Arts and Entertainment Management and Dance, not to mention the friendships and memories made along the way.

Franklin is an historic charmer of a town with plenty of friendly places to grab a bite, shop, pamper yourself or catch a movie. Plus, Dean is just 40 minutes from Boston and Providence by road or train, making weekend excursions to either city a breeze. The train station is just a short walk from campus.

Are you worried that Dean will be all work and no play? Here's proof that good times and intense study can peacefully co-exist. Dean has dozens of clubs and activities, 11 athletic programs, an unbelievable line-up of theatre productions and dance performances and sporting events.

Dean College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Dean College is a private college granting both associate and bachelor degrees in 15 majors, located in Franklin, Massachusetts. Most students who attend Dean College are enrolled in the Associate degree program, in which they take four semesters of classes to build up a strong enough academic background to transfer to a college or university offering bachelor degrees. Ninety-eight percent of Dean's students are accepted for transfer at four-year colleges and universities. Students can earn a bachelor's degree from Dean in either Dance or Arts and Entertainment Management, or in a number of other programs through Dean's affiliation with Suffolk University, in which the students attend classes at Dean but receive a degree from Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. Dean students hail from throughout the United States and from more than a dozen countries. The school provides mentoring, tutoring and other personalized learning services for students with diverse learning styles and study skills.

The campus is historic, scenic and well maintained, and includes Dean Hall, the College's most historic structure which houses classrooms, the radio station, offices, the Center for Student Administrative Services (CSAS), Campus Safety, video production studios/classrooms, the President's office and board room, and two floors of student residences. Dean has undertaken (in 2008) an ambitious renovation program which will included the installation of an elevator in Dean Hall, upgrades to Bourret Hall - a residence hall; and a complete renovation of the E. Ross Anderson Library. The library renovations completely gutted the original structure and created the school's Library Learning Commons - a structure which houses the library, Advising Center, classroom and conference room space, faculty and staff offices and a small cafe. All of the renovations were completed in three months time during the summer of 2008.

The College is known for the access students have to faculty, mentors and tutors who have abundant and flexible office hours and are willing to work with students to make sure they learn and comprehend course material and cultivate confidence in their abilities.
