Dean is a unique and exciting place; a place where your future success is more important to us than your past 
performance. A place where your learning style, your needs, your issues are at the top of our list.
Many colleges promise a "personalized" experience and community-like environment; at Dean we fulfill this promise and go beyond it. Dean's dedicated faculty, advisors and educational specialists -- the best in their respective fields -- offer direct, personal involvement to help you obtain the full value from the college experience.
Dean is an institution with heart and spirit, and an engaging educational philosophy.
Dean focuses on learning as a total experience -- both in and out of the classroom. Our internships, work-and-learn program, comprehensive athletic programs, community service projects, co-curricular activities and leadership opportunities all help you build the self-confidence that will be critical to your success.
We treat you as a respected member of the community. You are not just one of the crowd.
We assess and analyze your needs, mindful of the diverse learning styles of each of our students. We build a program tailored specifically to your strengths and challenges. We afford you every opportunity to tap your full potential and succeed academically. This is our hallmark -- and has been so for nearly 140 years -- and we believe this is what gives our students a competitive edge. By the way, the students who graduate from Dean are accepted for transfer to 4-year institutions at a rate of 98% --either to our on-campus partner Suffolk University -- or to some of the most prestigious four-year colleges and universities in the country.
Take a tour of our campus online and schedule a visit so you can see our pristine 100-acre campus for yourself, to meet the faculty, the advisors and the staff who make Dean a resounding success for our students.
Dean College takes seriously its partnership role with families and students. We respect the sacrifices families make to provide their student with a college education and we recognize our obligation to provide high-value programs that are the foundation for personal growth and career advancement.
Dean's liberal arts-based curriculum is rigorous without being overwhelming. It assures you a solid general education foundation, which is important whether you will be transferring to a four-year college or university or entering the workforce. Dean students have opportunities to gain work experience, and complete bachelor degrees right here on the Dean campus. 
A personal visit to Dean is the best way to gain a well-rounded picture of this unique academic community and what makes it special. It is easily arranged through the Admission Office. I hope you will choose to be a part of the Dean community.
