Van Loan School at Endicott College

What Van Loan School at Endicott College does

Van Loan School at Endicott College is the adult-learner division of Endicott College, a private non-profit institution founded in 1939 and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts. The division delivers accelerated undergraduate degree completion programs — five bachelor's degrees (Business Management, Criminal Justice, Interdisciplinary Studies, RN-to-BSN Nursing, and Psychology), an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) for career changers, and seven six-course concentrations — primarily to working adults, military personnel and veterans, single parents, international students, and high-schoolers in the Early College Program. Courses run in 7-, 8-, and 10-week accelerated formats delivered in person at the Beverly campus, embedded at employer partner sites (US Coast Guard in Boston, Chatham, and South Portland; Lahey Clinic in Burlington; Lawrence General Hospital; Applied Materials in Gloucester), 100% online via Canvas LMS, and through the CIS/Endicott International cohort in Madrid, Spain.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for higher education: Canvas LMS for online and hybrid delivery, e-Science Labs kits for hands-on science coursework, Nelnet Campus Commerce plus Flywire and Convera for domestic and international tuition payments, and SpanTran/NACES for international credential evaluation. The division's Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) portfolio assessment program, in operation for over two decades, allows students to earn up to 30 credits toward a bachelor's degree by documenting professional and life experience, alongside a transfer policy that accepts up to 85 credits.

Van Loan operates as a tuition-driven non-profit, charging $416 per credit for most degree completion programs and $1,193 per credit for the ABSN, with a waived $25 application fee for veterans. Revenue is supplemented by federal financial aid, GI Bill benefits, military tuition assistance, and Yellow Ribbon Program grants of up to $5,333 per academic year. Go-to-market is sales-led with rolling admissions, employer-embedded site delivery, and online enrollment supported by personalized advising. A 2025 College-wide realignment moved international master's programs out of Van Loan into Endicott's School of Education, sharpening the division's focus on undergraduate adult learners.
