Mount Washington College was a for-profit college in New Hampshire, United States. Until 2013 it was known as Hesser College. It was owned by Kaplan, Inc. The college offered associate and bachelor's degrees focused in business and information technology. The college claimed a flexible class scheduling system tailored to a diverse group of students. The school was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Mount Washington College closed in May 2016.
Mount Washington College had five campus locations — in Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, Salem and Concord, where the school offered associate's and bachelor's degrees in a range of programs including business, information technology, digital media, criminal justice, liberal studies, healthcare management, and paralegal studies. The school also had an expanded national presence via its online education programs where students could obtain an associate's or bachelor's degree in business or information technology.
The location of the Manchester campus, among the Sundial Center of Commerce & Education, enabled students to have exposure to local businesses and potential internships not available in other locations and in other small colleges. The college incorporated a unique advisory program to ensure that students choose appropriate fields of study based on their specific strengths.
