As you look to continue your basketball career at the next level, I invite you to consider joining the strong tradition we have established at Dean College. With our academic reputation, our athletic success, and our commitment to the entire student-athlete experience, we provide a wonderful college atmosphere for our students. We pride ourselves in the importance of developing relationships with players, and that includes being a team both on and off the basketball court. We want our players to realize you will succeed in life and basketball.
Athletically, Dean has a rich tradition as a member of the NJCAA. Considered one of the elite Division II programs in the northeast, we offer excellent financial aid packages, including partial athletic scholarships as well as need-based aid.
Dean College is a private, coeducational, residential institution founded in 1865. We offer a broad range of academic majors, a small student-teacher ratio (14 to 1), and a personalized and learner-centered environment. Our primary mission is to prepare our students for transfer to Bachelor’s degree programs at leading colleges and universities. Nearly 90% of our graduates make this transition.
Academically, we provide a comprehensive, liberal arts-based curriculum that gives our students the solid educational foundation they need. Our academic support programs, on and off-campus internships, and a wealth of activities for participation and leadership build the self-confidence needed for success.
