Why Van Loan?

Our seven-week courses are offered in-person or remote in Beverly, Mass., or Boston, as well as online. Course scheduling is flexible, and with rolling admissions, you can begin your academic journey any time of year. 

In addition to the support you’ll receive from our dedicated faculty and staff, an abundance of resources are available to students, such as access to three computer labs, a makerspace, career center, entrepreneurship center, tutoring & writing center, counseling center, and advising support. Small class sizes ensure open communication, enable peer-to-peer interaction, and enhance the student experience. 

Your previous experience is valuable—gain college credit for your work and life experience through our Prior Learning Assessment program (PLA). Each three-credit PLA course consists of a personal tour of reflection, retrieval, and writing processes. You’ll create a portfolio that documents your professional and personal expertise, which you will use to petition for credit. 

All of our programs are tailored to the adult learner, and provide benefits such as scholarships for single parents, discounts for active and military veterans, a generous transfer policy, and more.

Take charge of your personal and professional growth today.
