What Albertus Magnus College does

Albertus Magnus College is a private, not-for-profit Catholic liberal arts college founded in 1925 by the Dominican Sisters of Peace and headquartered at 700 Prospect Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The institution delivers higher education across three formats: traditional undergraduate programs (50+ majors, minors, and concentrations in 17:1 student-to-faculty classes), accelerated adult undergraduate programs (online, blended, and flex formats typically completed in 18 months), and graduate programs (12+ master's degrees plus an MFA covering business, education, healthcare, criminal justice, and liberal studies). It reports 96% placement of graduates in employment or graduate school within six months and provides institutional aid to 100% of incoming traditional undergraduates.

Revenue derives primarily from tuition and fees across all three delivery formats, supplemented by federal and state grants (e.g., $900K cybersecurity lab and $1.57M nursing/STEM awards), private donations including a $1.7M estate gift and a $3M capital gift, and auxiliary services. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the admissions office, with go-to-market through the website, Instagram, virtual tours, high school counselor relationships, and community events. The operating model is supported by ancillary services including the Rosary Hall Library, a free Health Clinic and Counseling Center, Career Services (via Handshake), Accessibility Services (TimelyCare telehealth), Public Safety (LiveSafe), and NCAA Division III athletics (the Falcons, 19 teams).

The technology stack includes Canvas LMS, the myAlbertus student portal, the new Carol G. Ditkoff Immersive Learning Collaboratory running the Dreamscape Learn VR platform, a new cybersecurity laboratory, an Esports facility, and an Anatomage Table for health sciences. The college is currently executing a $40 million Forever Albertus centennial fundraising campaign alongside product expansion into STEM, healthcare, and cybersecurity verticals.
