centered institution that supports collaborative learning as its premise.
Our graduate and professional studies programs meet the needs and demands of the adult learner. The value of your experience
will be most beneficial if it is connected to practices and challenges that you face in your courses. We do all that we can to assure
that your program will be rigorous, taking into account the challenges of being an adult learner.
Van Loan School Philosophy Statement
The Van Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies works with adult, life-long learners, so that they can explore new
opportunities in their professional and personal lives. The programs are often cohort-based, student-centered, accelerated, intensive,
and tailored to meet the learning needs and the lifestyles of adult learners. With a focus on rigor and quality, the Van
Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies’ programs are designed to challenge students to grow intellectually and professionally.
Our model of learning from each other through peer collaboration, with faculty as facilitators in interactive classes,
is based on the notion that the graduate experience will be most fruitful if connected to practice and to the challenges each student
faces in his or her career. Endicott College’s post-baccalaureate programs emphasize the interaction of theory and practice
and the successful application of knowledge and competence in the professional domain.

Endicott Online
Through Endicott’s online courses, students approach course material through a variety of media, surrounded by nearly limitless resources. PowerPoint lectures, streaming video and audio, posted documents and images, and guided links to additional resources all help to create a stimulating multidimensional learning experience. The many ways in which students respond to the material and each other enhances this many-layered approach to learning: threaded discussions allow for thoughtful contributions to ongoing class discussions; real-time chat sessions make it easy for students to interact with their professor and peers much as they would in a classroom setting; uploading assignments and sharing feedback opens up new perspectives and contributes to the creation of close, supportive online communities. All of the elements that make a successful, dynamic learning experience appear in one central online class environment, continually updated and archived for later use.
Available during the fall and spring semesters as well as during the winter intersession and summer session, online courses are a convenient way for students to meet educational goals.
Since online courses are accessed through students’ computers and Internet connections, it is important for students to have the proper computer configuration. Minimum technical requirements include a high speed Internet connection, an operating system of Windows XP or later for PCs or OS X Version 10.4 (“Tiger”) and later for Macs, and at least 2 GB of RAM. Students may request a PDF of the Technical Requirements for Online Courses for detailed information.
Corporate Degree Completion Programs
Endicott College’s Van Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies offers opportunities for employees of Massachusetts businesses to earn their degrees on-site at their place of employment or in a convenient nearby location. Degree programs are tailored to the needs and educational experiences of the employees and can take students from no credits to an Associate degree to a Bachelor degree. An Accelerated Bachelor Degree Completion program is also available to students with significant college experience. Graduate School personnel will work with Human Resources Directors to design a program specific to the needs of companies.
The Center for Leadership
The Center for Leadership offers programs for professional development for educators and individuals in the corporate world.
Summer Session
The Summer Session offers an array of undergraduate and graduate courses during the summer months at the Beverly campus. Both day and evening courses are available. Traditional classroom courses are offered in five or six week sessions, many online courses are available, and graduate intensive one-week institutes and courses are also taught. Courses held in the summer months are taught by either full-time faculty of Endicott and area colleges or adjunct faculty employed by businesses, non-profit organizations, and consulting firms.
The Learning Environment
|
^ TOP |
Collaborative Learning Using the Cohort Model
Building on Endicott College’s strength as a leading institution in adult learning, the post-baccalaureate programs employ a collaborative, team-based approach to teaching and learning. The cohort model is one by which a group of students begins, progresses through, and completes a course of study together. In the Endicott post-baccalaureate programs, students are admitted into cohort groups of approximately 15–20. This cohort approach creates a rich environment of peer learning and collaboration. The cohort model emphasizes and reinforces both team building and teamwork as critical functions of individuals and organizations. Most students finish a program within 20–24 months. Courses are offered online, in the evenings, on weekends, and during week-long sessions in the summer for the convenience of professional adults.
Collaborative Learning and Group Work
Collaborative learning and small group interaction with out-of-class project/presentation development is one of the integral parts of accelerated graduate programs. Each of the three-credit courses has a component in which members of the cohort meet outside class to develop new learning experiences and complete group assignments that are part of each course. These out-of-class meetings are required and, in addition to the four hour per week classes, constitute approximately one half of the programmed learning experience.
Peer (student) evaluations of the group may be utilized as part of the grading process by the instructor. Each member of a small group is responsible for the totality of the group outcome and should be intimately familiar with all phases of the group project/paper.
