Discover the Experience!

^ TOP

You probably agree that if a college is really as special as it claims to be, it wouldn’t take a lot to convince you to come. You figure that if it offers the right program in the right place at the right price, you could make up your own mind after seeing it for yourself. Most students select Endicott after a personal tour of our oceanfront campus ends their search for the ideal academic experience. So until you arrange a visit, keep these few things in mind …

  • We offer a distinct variety of doctoral, graduate, and undergraduate degree programs.
  • Internships are part of every major at Endicott. Every single one. That should cut down on those “experience required” job rejections later.
  • Our faculty and staff are experienced, qualified, and friendly. They don’t just care about your grades, they care about you.
  • We take athletics very seriously and participate in NCAA Division III and ECAC competition. We’re accustomed to the thrill of victory!
  • Our campus is at the ocean’s scenic edge on New England’s historic North Shore, just 20 miles north of Boston. Maybe a walk along one of our three private beaches will help inspire your next English composition.
  • The majority of our students qualify for some type of financial aid, including grants of institutional aid, based on need and/or merit.
  • With students hailing from 34 states and dozens of countries, life on Endicott’s campus is rich in cultural diversity and understanding.
  • Our students are granted the opportunity, between semesters, to join study tours in fascinating cities like Paris, London, and New York. Others may travel halfway around the globe for an enriching semester in Australia. Still others embrace the challenge of a semester or year in Switzerland or in Spain, participating in an exchange through the College of International Studies.
  • Our graduates enter the world confident, experienced, and prepared. Our distinguished alumni are living proof.

That’s just a brief summary of Endicott’s unique advantages. The real story is waiting here. So’s the experience. You’re welcome any time.

College History

^ TOP

Endicott College was founded in 1939 by Dr. Eleanor Tupper and her husband, Dr. George O. Bierkoe, who shared the vision of creating a college to educate women for greater independence and an enhanced position in the workplace. This was a radical idea in the days near the end of the Depression and just before America’s entry into World War II. Despite its unconventional nature, the dream took hold and flourished during the war and the years beyond.

The College was issued its first charter by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1939 graduated its first class, a group of just 20 students, in 1941. In 1944, it was officially approved by the Commonwealth for the granting of Associate in Arts and Associate of Science degrees. Eight years later in 1952, Endicott was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. In 1988 the College earned four-year status and graduated its first baccalaureate class in 1990. The first coeducational class entered in the fall of 1994, the first graduate programs were introduced in 1996, and in 2012 Endicott became the first college on the North Shore to offer doctoral programs. 

Today, more than 2,750 traditional undergraduate students pursue degrees on the Beverly campus, and 2,350 students enroll in doctoral, graduate, and accelerated undergraduate programs through the Van Loan School at Endicott College. On the Beverly campus, at our academic centers in Boston and Gloucester, and at sites across the region and around the world, students have come to embrace Endicott’s commitment to experiential learning, which combines theory with hands-on, career-related experience.

The campus, too, has grown. From the first purchase in 1939 of a handsome estate and Victorian mansion to accommodate both classrooms and living quarters to our current 235 acres and 56 buildings that include residence halls, activity centers, athletic facilities, and state-of-the-art technology, today’s Endicott has continued to be a beautiful and supportive environment where students and faculty come together as a true community of learners.

The College fosters a spirit of excellence by creating a challenging yet supportive and inclusive environment in which students are encouraged to take intellectual risks, pursue scholarly and creative interests, contribute to the community, and explore diverse career paths. Endicott is committed to supporting the personal and professional development of its students, preparing them to assume meaningful roles within the greater community, both domestically and internationally.

Statement of Understanding

^ TOP

Endicott College is committed to providing an educational experience that will encourage students to view the concept of diversity from a variety of perspectives in order to foster understanding and ultimately greater respect and acceptance among individuals. Embracing diversity means understanding and respecting our individual differences, which includes the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, differing abilities (e.g., physical, emotional, and cognitive), and religious and political beliefs. Central to the exploration of the differences and similarities among individuals is the need to offer a safe, positive, and supportive environment. The goal is to reach a greater understanding of each other and to move beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.

Accreditations, Memberships and Approvals

^ TOP

Endicott College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., (NEASC) through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one that has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial, but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

Inquiries regarding the status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact NEASC directly.

Northeast Consortium of Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts (NECCUM)

^ TOP

Endicott is a founding member of the Northeast Consortium of Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts (NECCUM). Other members include: Gordon College, Marian Court College, Merrimack College, Montserrat School of Art, Middlesex Community College, North Shore Community College, Northern Essex Community College, Salem State University, and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. These institutions are located in communities north of Boston within less than an hour’s drive of one another. The College’s participation in the Consortium makes available to students the resources of all ten colleges.

More than 130 program majors and concentrations are offered in these institutions, which serve over 25,000 students in day division degree programs. NECCUM sponsors a cross registration program that opens many of these opportunities to students in each participating institution.

Cross Registration

Under the cross registration program, students at Endicott may enroll in up to two courses each semester at another member college. This policy greatly broadens curriculum offerings available to students. Full-time day students are eligible for this option on a space-available basis in courses not offered at the home institution and with the approval of their academic dean and the campus registrar. Students must provide their own transportation to other colleges.

Other activities of the Consortium include reciprocal borrowing from member libraries, sharing of plant facilities, joint purchase arrangements, and plans for inter-institutional sponsorship of faculty/student colloquia and special events programming.

Summary of Academic Offerings

^ TOP

Endicott offers students the opportunity to major in a selected program of study immediately upon admission. Many students admitted to Endicott pursue their initial majors to completion. Other students come to Endicott with a desire to explore different areas of study. The College encourages this investigation and strives to assist all students in making connections across academic disciplines. Students who have yet to select a major are encouraged to explore the rich and varied academic offerings and internships offered by the College and truly “discover the experience.”

Degree

A degree is the award conferred by Endicott College as official recognition for the successful completion of a program of studies. Today, Endicott offers Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Education (M.Ed.), Master of Fine Arts (MFA), Master of Science (M.S.), Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. A bachelor’s degree typically takes four years to complete while studying full time. The master’s degree is designed to be completed in up to two years of part-time study while working. Students in the doctoral programs are expected to complete their programs in three to four years of part-time study while working.

Second Bachelor Degree Policy

Students who have graduated from Endicott College with a bachelor’s degree and wish to return to Endicott to earn a second bachelor’s degree must earn a minimum of 33 additional credits. Students must complete all requirements of the major as well as the semester-long internship, Senior Thesis I ,and Senior Thesis II.

Major

A major is required of all candidates for bachelor’s degrees. A major is a specialized program of study, constituted by a focused set of courses, most of which typically are drawn from one discipline, the major discipline, but some of which may be drawn from closely related, or cognate, disciplines. The number of major and cognate courses required varies from major to major. (See the descriptions of the program requirements of the different majors.) Endicott College offers 35 majors at the baccalaureate (bachelor’s) level.

Concentration

A concentration is a subset of a major program of study. Concentrations consist of no fewer than four courses within a program of study as listed in the Catalog.

Minor

Minors must be outside of a student’s major and concentration. Up to two courses, which have been prescribed by a student’s major to satisfy the General Education requirements, may be counted toward a student’s minor. The minimum number of credits for a minor is 18. Core requirements, as designated in the Endicott College Catalog, and free electives may be used to satisfy the minor requirements. Double Minors Policy: Students may have two minors. In order to complete a second minor, courses used to fulfill the requirements of the first minor may not be used to meet the requirements of the second minor. Depending upon the major, students may not be able to complete the requirements of the minors within four years or within the minimum number of credits for their degrees.

Double Majors

Students may undertake double majors in programs that do not have accreditation requirements and that have a substantial number of free electives. Double majors are not possible in highly structured programs such as interior design, nursing, accounting, and athletic training. In addition, students interested in a double major should plan for that option as early as possible, preferably during the freshman year. Depending upon the majors, it might not be possible to complete all requirements for both majors within eight semesters.

As a first step in pursuing a double major, the student should consult with his or her advisor to determine the feasibility based on the requirements of the majors. The student must then obtain permission from the dean of each major. Once the double major is approved, the deans will work with the student to develop a course of study that will fulfill the degree requirements of both majors and will assist the student in developing semester internship and senior thesis options that bridge both majors. A permission form (available on the Registrar’s web page) including the course of study will be submitted to the Registrar. Examples of double majors include but are not limited to English (literary studies)/history, applied mathematics/computer science, applied mathematics/business, computer science/business, and digital media/political science.  and Digital Journalism/Political Science.

Three-year Program Option

An accelerated program is now available for those students wishing to complete a baccalaureate degree in three years. Acceptance into this program follows admission to the College and is based on major program of study and on completion of a graduation timetable developed in collaboration with the appropriate academic dean. Advanced placement and/or college credit prior to the start of undergraduate study is highly desirable, and the ability to engage in winter session courses and in one summer-session internship is required.

The three-year degree program option will be available only within those majors for which the requirements can be sequenced to fit within three years. Therefore, the following majors are not eligible or not recommended:

Not Eligible:

  • Accounting, athletic training, nursing, interior design

Not Recommended:

  • Biotechology, Pre-professional concentration


For more information contact the appropriate academic dean or the Office of Admission.

Fifth Year Graduate Programs for Endicott Undergraduates 

Full-time graduate programs are available to undergraduates in good standing who wish to earn master’s degrees at Endicott College following completion of their undergraduate studies. The Master of Business Administration has a full-time, intensive program through which a degree may be earned in one academic year. The fifth year Master of Education allows students graduating from Endicott’s licensure programs in early childhood, secondary, and elementary education, to move directly into a master’s degree in either moderate disabilities (preK-8), reading (all grades), or secondary education. Through a year of full-time study, beginning directly after completion of the undergraduate degree, students are able to complete an M.Ed. within a year. The Master of Arts in Interior Architecture, the Master of Science in Homeland Security Studies, and the Master of Science in Nursing are all offered as fifth year graduate programs for undergraduates as well.

The Teaching Fellows Program is a unique fifth year experience. This year-long residency provides students holding an initial license the opportunity to gain classroom experience and complete a master’s degree in a single year. Teaching fellows start master’s-level foundation courses directly after completing the bachelor’s degree and continue to take courses throughout the school year. In September, they begin work in a partnering district in the role of the license they are pursuing through their master’s degree. Fellows receive continuous guidance and support from veteran teachers, Endicott supervisors, and education advisors. In exchange for one academic year of teaching, the district agrees to pay the equivalent of full graduate program tuition for their teaching fellow. Housing and other living expenses are the responsibility of the student.

Special scholarships for fifth year programs are available to alumni of Endicott College. For more information, visit the Van
Loan website at www.vanloan.endicott.edu, call (978) 232-2199, or email: vanloan@endicott.edu.

Summer and Winter Sessions

Academic courses, including online courses, are offered days and evenings during the summer and the January intersession. These courses are transferable to other colleges and universities that carry the same nationally recognized accreditation as Endicott. Residential accommodations may be available.

Endicott Research Center

^ TOP

The Endicott Research Center provides educational leaders and policy makers with the development and inquiry capacity to support efforts in the reform of educational policy and practice. The Center aspires to be a major contributor to educational policy and practice. While data on achievement is important, the Endicott Research Center seeks to move beyond standardized test scores as the only measure of the success of educational institutions. The Center collects, analyzes, and evaluates data on the social, emotional, and motivational conditions in schools, so as to provide schools and society with a broader understanding of school effectiveness. The nature of this research is consistent with the applied learning philosophy of Endicott’s curriculum and leverages the core competencies of the College and its faculty.

This overarching goal provides the focus for three basic elements of the Center’s mission. The first is to conduct high-quality research, evaluation, and development support designed to inform educational policy and leaders at the state, national, and international levels. The second is to serve as a reliable source of research-based information in regards to the conditions and performance of educational systems. The third is to promote widespread use of that information, enhancing the research skills of faculty and staff, guest faculty, and, ultimately, students at advanced levels. In sum, the Research Center acts as a bridge between the worlds of the academy and the classroom, between educational research and practice.

The Research Center also functions as an information repository (gathering, collating, packaging, and disseminating information), as a research and training center (organizing training sessions, seminars, and conferences), and as an educational center (knowledge developed from the activities of the Endicott Research Center will feed back into academic programs and capacity building exercises).
