Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts (formerly Northeast Catholic College,[1] The College of Saint Mary Magdalen,[3] and simply Magdalen College[2]) was a private Catholic liberal arts college in Warner, New Hampshire. The college opened in 1973. Enrollment never exceeded 90 students and it closed in May 2024.[5][6]
It was recognized as a Catholic college by the Diocese of Manchester[7] and recommended by the Cardinal Newman Society.[8] Magdalen College offered associate and bachelor's degrees in liberal studies with majors in philosophy, theology, history, and literature as well as a multi-disciplinary major in the great books.[3] Its curriculum was based on the study of the great books throughout its curriculum both in its core and in its majors.[9] Magdalen College possessed degree-granting authority from the State of New Hampshire[3] and was regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.[10]
Magdalen College was founded by Catholic laymen in 1973.[11] From 1974 to 1991 the college operated at its original campus in Bedford, New Hampshire; in 1991, it moved to its last site in Warner.[12]
