Statements & Search Criteria Mission Statement To provide academically ecellent, time-efficient, and cost-effective higher education for a diverse population of working adults for whom those opportunities may have been limited or denied. Background Statement In 1971, a small group of educators created an educational institution, now known as Cambridge College, whose primary mission was to provide educational opportunities and degree attainment for working adults who did not have ready access to higher education. The art and science of helping adults learn became the foundation of the education philosophy at the institution. By blending theory and practice in a developmental and participatory approach, this group of educators developed the teaching/learning model specifically for adult learning and to benefit those who may not have had opportunities for a college education. The College was first known as The Institute of Open Education within Newton College of the Sacred Heart, and later became part of the Antioch University Network. In 1974, it became an independent institution, and in 1975 began awarding a Master of Education. The mission and philosophy of the College drew the attention of students from businesses, nonprofit and social service agencies, and other professions. As this learning community grew, the College epanded to offer a broad range of academic programs, including the Master of Management, Bachelor of Arts, Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies, Bachelor of Science, and the Doctor of Education. Cambridge College continues to be at the forefront in providing open access to nontraditional learners adult students who did not immediately go on from high school graduation to college; who have associate degrees; who began college but did not finish; or who never enrolled. The College has awarded degrees to more than 35,000 alumni. Today, Cambridge College also serves the educational needs of students outside of its original home location in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The College has regional locations in Springfield and Lawrence, Massachusetts, and in California, Puerto Rico. The College aspires to be a visionary organization and learning community for its constituents. Through the dynamic learning processes which are the foundations of our educational model, and our dedication to our mission, we believe we are serving and transforming the lives of adult learners across the national landscape. 2
