History

Founding

Cambridge College had its beginnings as an innovative graduate program created by Eileen Moran Brown and Joan Goldsmith in the newly created Institute of Open Education (IOE) in 1971 formed by John Bremer at Newton College of the Sacred Heart.[6] Students in education programs were given individual attention: for example, through critiques of videotaped student performance on the job. Within two years, Brown and Goldsmith were directing the IOE, and later affiliated the IOE with Antioch College, where Brown was named Dean. In 1979, Brown began the 18-month process of elevating the graduate program to an independent, fully accredited institution that was named Cambridge College.

1990s

A 2003 Wall Street Journal article reported that in 1996, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges had cited "quality control of academic achievement" as an "issue of overriding concern which is central to the academic credibility of the college" with reference to the graduate program in education. [9] The article discussed the lack of rigorous entrance requirements and grade inflation in the program as areas of concern. [7]

2000s

John Bremer was invited to Cambridge College (2005-08) where he was appointed to the Elizabeth J. McCormack Chair in the Humanities.[8]

In 2017, Cambridge College consolidated its four locations in Cambridge into a single campus in the Hood Office Park in Charlestown, a neighborhood of Boston.[9]

Accreditation

Cambridge College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.[10]

The College is authorized to operate by the California Bureau for Private Post-Secondary and Vocational Education, and the Council on Higher Education of Puerto Rico.[11]
