Mission
Vision
New England College is a regionally-accredited*, private,
nonprofit college, that has been helping students achieve their
full potential for more than 70 years. Located in the quintessential
New England town of Henniker, New Hampshire, NEC is
passionate about education, personal and professional growth,
and the power of transformation, NEC is dedicated to providing
exceptional education to students from all over the world.
Today, that mission has been expanded to include adults
from all walks of life, with an understanding of the ongoing
commitments these learners have – to family, work and day-to-
day responsibilities. NEC’s faculty do much more than teach - they
are fully committed to providing guidance throughout students’
entire college experience and forming relationships that are free
of judgment, yet full of occasions for personal enrichment that go
far beyond the classroom.
Through an approach known as experiential learning, or learning
by doing, our professors incorporate hands-on experience into
the coursework so our students graduate with more than just
a diploma. Experience the guidance and support to help you
succeed, as you earn the same degree as on-campus students.
*New England College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education
(formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England
Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.)
