RIVIER UNIVERSITY

Rivier University is named in honor of Blessed Anne Marie Rivier, Foundress of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. Established in 1933 in Hudson, New Hampshire, Rivier College moved in 1941 to the present campus site in Nashua and officially became Rivier University on July 1, 2012. The University was incorporated in 1935 under the laws of the State of New Hampshire, and through two separate charters was invested with the power to confer both graduate and undergraduate degrees.
Rivier is a fully accredited institution enrolling approximately 2,200 students in two schools: the School of Undergraduate Studies (which includes an Evening Division) and the School of Graduate Studies. For the purpose of institutional cooperation, Rivier University is a member of the New Hampshire College and University Council, a consortium of institutions of higher learning; students of member institutions are permitted to register for transfer credit at any of the member institutions except Dartmouth College.

As the oldest institution of higher learning in Nashua, Rivier is recognized for the development of programs which serve the needs of both traditional and nontraditional age individuals and remains faithful to its original mission: the education of the whole person.

SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE

Founded in 1926, Sarah Lawrence is a coed liberal arts college with a distinctive academic philosophy emphasizing the individual student.
Sarah Lawrence College occupies 44 wooded acres in Yonkers, NY, near the village of Bronxville, just north of New York City.

The academic structure combines small seminar classes with individual, biweekly student-faculty conferences—plus studios, labs, performances, and internships. Undergraduates have nearly 50 disciplines from which to select courses. Students receive written evaluations; grades are recorded for transcript purposes only.

Our students are men and women who share an enthusiasm for intellectual rigor, academic risk taking, creativity in all disciplines, and original and interdisciplinary work. We are particularly committed to having our faculty, administration, and student body reflect the social, racial, and economic diversity that characterizes our society. The College’s 1,300 undergraduate students come from nearly every state and from 35 countries. Eighty-five percent of students live on campus.
