Stonehill College

What Stonehill College does

Stonehill College is a private Catholic liberal arts college founded in 1948 by the Congregation of Holy Cross, operating on a 384-acre campus in Easton, Massachusetts under the motto 'Lux et Spes' (Light and Hope). The institution delivers undergraduate and graduate education through two academic units — the May School of Arts & Sciences and the Meehan School of Business — offering 100+ programs across Business, Science, Social Science, Arts, and Humanities, with a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, a 100% Experiential Education Guarantee, and a 95% graduate placement rate. Recent additions include a Bachelor of Science in Nursing launching in 2026-27 and dual MBA programs (on-campus and online) launching January 2026, addressing healthcare workforce gaps and working-professional demand.

The business model is tuition-driven with bundled auxiliary revenue. Full-time undergraduate tuition for 2026-2027 is $60,610 per year, with room and board adding $17,850; approximately 90% of students live on campus, generating substantial mandatory meal-plan and housing revenue through Bon Appétit Management Company. Graduate programs charge $787–$1,000 per credit, with discounted 'Skyhawk Rates' for alumni, employees, and partners. Supplementary revenue comes from program-specific fees (Business School, Nursing, May School), a $1,500 annual General Service Fee, study abroad charges, and a Student Health Insurance Plan administered via BCBS. Distribution is direct-to-student through admissions, website, campus visits, and college fairs; international reach is limited to study-abroad coordination rather than offshore enrollment.

Technology infrastructure is commodity-based — Canvas LMS for learning management, myHill student portal, and SchoolDude facilities management — with no proprietary platform, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The institution is governed by a board under the Congregation of Holy Cross, led by college administration, and supported by fundraising campaigns such as the $50M Built to Rise initiative funding new Bogan Arena and turf fields for Division I athletics. External validation includes top 15% placement in Princeton Review's Best 391 Colleges (2026), top 10% in Money's 2025 rankings, and inclusion in the Wall Street Journal 2025 Best Colleges list.
