A commitment to success
If you have students who want a university that is welcoming, focused on the real world, and a recognized value, then we're the right fit for them!
The majority of our students aspire to careers that help other people, which influences the culture for our campus, and it's one of the reasons why we're consistently ranked among the safest colleges in the country.
We offer academic programs that address real world problems and meet the emerging needs of Massachusetts, like cybersecurity and digital forensics, childhood studies, and photonics and optical engineering.
We've again been ranked among one of the best colleges in America by the Wall Street Journal and we continue to ensure that we're financially accessible with our merit scholarships and recently announced Bridgewater Commitment.
