School Description

Provided by Saint Anselm College

Saint Anselm College is a Catholic liberal arts college in the Benedictine tradition. The College offers students access to an educational process which encourages them to lead lives that are both creative and generous. Saint Anselm challenges students to engage in the fullest experience of a liberal arts education, to free themselves from the strictures of ignorance, illiteracy and indecision, and to dedicate themselves to an active and enthusiastic pursuit of truth. It is through an appreciation of the several kinds of truth -- scientific, technical, poetic, philosophical, and theological -- that students learn to challenge both personal and social problems. Saint Anselm seeks to admit students who are capable of benefiting from the liberal arts education it offers. The College stands open to receive students of every race, national origin and creed. Indeed, the College seeks to enroll a student body which reflects a variety of racial and cultural backgrounds. As a Catholic, Benedictine institution, Saint Anselm observes and promotes Christian and Catholic standards of value and conduct. The College accepts and retains students on the condition that they respect and observe those standards.

Saint Anselm is located on a hilltop overlooking Manchester, N.H., within an hour of the seacoast, Boston, the White Mountains, and New Hampshire's Lakes Region.

Founded in 1889 by the world's oldest religious order, the Benedictines—a Catholic order that has endured and thrived for more than 1,500 years—we have spent 118 years shaping an academic community designed to meet your expectations.

Whether you want to be a doctor, teacher, nurse, or lawyer; start your own business or make films—or you simply know you want to make a difference and you want to figure out the best way to do it, Saint Anselm will give you the options, experience, and mentors to connect, solve, to serve, lead and especially to do the right thing.

Named one of the country's "Colleges with a Conscience" by The Princeton Review, Saint Anselm shapes the kind of leader the world is hungry for; not only smart, but good. We invite you to be one of them.

Saint Anselm College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Saint Anselm College is a Catholic liberal arts college in Goffstown, New Hampshire.

History

The first bishop of Manchester, Denis M. Bradley, invited the Benedictine monks of St. Mary's Abbey in Newark, New Jersey, to form a school in his diocese. The monks accepted, and a six-year curriculum in philosophy and theology was developed. In 1895, the General Court of New Hampshire granted Saint Anselm College the right to bestow standard academic degrees upon its graduates.

Campus

Cushing Center is a student center in size. Services include: campus mail center, Multicultural Center, ARC, Campus Ministry, Health Services, the Meelia Center for Community Service, and Career Education Services on the second floor.

A majority of buildings on campus are devoted to student housing, with approximately 88% of the student body living on campus.

Academics

Saint Anselm College offers one Bachelor of Science degree, in Nursing, in addition to its Bachelor of Arts degrees in thirty-one majors.

Saint Anselm also offers a five-year cooperative Liberal arts/Engineering program with University of Notre Dame, University of Massachusetts Lowell, The Catholic University of America, and Manhattan College. Three years are spent at Saint Anselm and two more years at a cooperating college to complete both degrees.

New Hampshire Institute of Politics

The college is home to the New Hampshire Institute of Politics (NHIOP). It was founded on the basis that "educated and engaged citizens are vital for a healthy democracy." The NHIOP houses the Politics department, as well as provides classroom space for use by all departments. The Institute is credited with raising the national profile of the college by incorporating the college in the New Hampshire Primary, an important early event in the United States Presidential Elections.

In 2003, Saint Anselm hosted a debate between the candidates for the Democratic Party nomination in the 2004 presidential election, and served as the Primary headquarters for the Fox News Network. Similarly, in June 2007 the NHIOP hosted debates sponsored by CNN for the candidates for the Republican and Democratic Party nominations. Most recently, Saint Anselm played host to the back-to-back ABC/Facebook/WMUR debates on January 5, 2008.

Question: how good is Maine College of Art compared with other art schools?

just wondering where MECA is placed on the list of best art schools in the nation.
35 months ago

Best Answer

It is not among the elite art schools, but it is a significant step up from schools like the "Art Institute" chain of proprietary colleges. Maine is reputable. Not a bad art school at all, but there are stronger in New England. In New England, I'd place it above Montserrat College of Art, perhaps slightly below Mass Art, and well below RISD. RISD, of course, is one of the elite. What other schools are you considering?
