Our graduates are lifelong learners who thrive in their careers, embrace social responsibility, and demonstrate leadership.

Recognized as a Top Regional College by U.S. News & World Report for fifteenth consecutive years and named a College of Distinction for eleven consecutive years, Dean serves more than 1,000 full-time students and offers over 50 academic programs and specializations, as well as a robust schedule of continuing studies and certificate programs throughout the year.

Dean College is perfectly situated in Franklin, Massachusetts, which is conveniently located between Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, and is accessible to Boston by commuter rail. The Dean College/Franklin rail station is only a five-minute walk from campus.

Approximately 90 percent of the College's student population lives on campus and Dean provides a supportive academic environment that thrives on hands-on engagement and exceptional teaching. This community-wide commitment of always going the extra mile for students is known as The Dean Difference. Outside of the classroom, students participate in 16 athletic teams and more than 40 on-campus groups and organizations.

Ninety-six percent of our bachelor's degree students are employed or enrolled in graduate school within 12 months of graduation. Alumni are hard at work in top-ranked graduate programs and are employed by organizations such as Universal Studios, Dell Technologies, Liberty Mutual, Kraft Sports + Entertainment, the Boston Ballet, and more.

What is The Dean Difference?

The Dean Difference isn't any one thing. It's not a program or a professor. It's not a single class or a club. It's the way our academic support networks and community overlap, interweave, and magnify each other. Our difference unites us. It's our secret formula. It's the nucleus around which we orbit. It isn't one thing, it's everything.
