The Dean Difference
Students, like colleges, are not all the same.
The grand challenge, of course, is to find the college that best fits your child as an individual. This is no easy task. It may help to know that Dean is equally strong in helping students who don’t know what the next step in their journey should be as those who have specifically laid out goals and aspirations. We don't coddle them, but we do take a more personal, nurturing approach as they pursue a major chosen from our selection of Associate Degree programs, Baccalaureate Degree programs or our unique Suffolk University partnership.
The greatest thing they learn to enjoy is learning itself. Their success speaks for itself. 98% of Associate Degree graduates are accepted for transfer to four-year baccalaureate programs at some of the top colleges and universities across the country, and nearly 90% of our Baccalaureate Degree graduates are employed in their field within six months of graduation.
The Center for Academic Support Services provides an unparalleled range of learning services designed to meet the needs of our diverse student population. The goal is to make sure each student finds the one unique path that will yield long-term success. We take into account each student's individual learning style and tailor a curriculum program that includes these components: Academic enrichment, skill development and support.
Our advising program offers a transfer resource library with over 1,000 college catalogues and sophisticated computer software programs to help students weigh their options. Coupled with a knowledgeable and helpful staff, our students have access to the tools they need to find the right path and vigorously pursue it.
The Dean Difference is, therefore, a system of bringing together a community of faculty, staff, students and families to help each and every student reach their growth potential personally, academically and professional and have a transformational experience to see their highest aspirations as attainable.
Prepare for What's Next.
Never give up. Never settle. And never lose sight of your dreams. At Dean College, these are the principles we instill in all our students. We see the future in every student who enters our halls. And we give them the tools they need to make that future a reality. From rigorous academics to regular one-on-one advising sessions to our committed faculty, Dean has a remarkable track record of taking students wherever they want to go.
