New England College (NEC) is a private non-profit college located in the town of Henniker, New Hampshire, enrolling a total of approximately 2,700 undergraduate and graduate students. The college is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and is dedicated to providing exceptional education for associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral students from all over the world.
Founded in 1946, New England College was established to serve the needs of servicemen and women attending college on the G.I. Bill after World War II. During its early years, the college purchased the Tortington Park School for girls in Arundel, in the English county of West Sussex. For a time, the school functioned as an extension campus for NEC students wishing to study abroad; at one point, the college even changed its logo to incorporate the flags of both countries. However, the Arundel campus was later sold. For many years, the Theatre Department sent a group of students over to the British campus during the January term and spring term to prepare three shows for touring in England, Scotland, Wales and sometimes elsewhere in Europe. This was a model program that combined study abroad with practical theatre experience.
NEC is located in the small town of Henniker, New Hampshire, which is located approximately 17 miles (27 km) from Concord, the state's capital, 31 miles (50 km) from Manchester, and 81 miles (130 km) from Boston, Massachusetts. The Contoocook River runs through the center of town and alongside the NEC campus. A covered bridge joins the main campus with roughly 20 acres (8.1 ha) of athletic fields.
