Daniel Webster College

Daniel Webster College was established in 1965 as the New England Aeronautical Institute and was associated with Boire Field. It merged with its Daniel Webster Junior College division to become Daniel Webster College later in 1978.

Daniel Webster College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC) through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the NEASC indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process.

Daniel Webster College offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in various areas such as Aeronautical Engineering, Air Traffic Management, Aviation Management, Business Management, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Game Design and Development, Gaming, Simulation and Robotics, Homeland Security, Management Information Systems, Marketing Management, Mechanical Engineering, Psychology, Sport Management, and Business Administration (online only).

The Housing and Residential Education program exists to develop and cultivate a community of students who may enhance the academic experience. The overarching goals are (a) to emphasize student responsibility, and (b) to develop student understanding of how individual actions may affect campus culture. The goal is to provide safe, secure, and engaging housing for on-campus students.

The Daniel Webster College residence hall community is another part of our communitry. The Student Development Office (SDO) attempts to promote an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation, which allows, among other things, student input into community decision making. Community standards and the code of student conduct support a safe and engaging campus community. Students are expected to know, understand, and comply with these standards and procedures in order to contribute to the maintenance of an environment conducive to academic excellence and personal growth.

The Student Development Office staff and a team of students known as Resident Assistants (RAs), are responsible for five residence halls and the students within the residential community. The staff members work toward the creation of an atmosphere conducive to an academic environment, mutual respect, understanding, and "home away from home" for resident students. Each student chosen to serve as a RA has undergone an interview process and appropriate training. Part of the role of an RA is to help students develop in personal and social areas. RAs assist students by providing social opportunities, serving as a resource to students, addressing concerns and issues, holding students accountable for their behavior, as well as developing a sense of community within the residence halls. Students are encouraged to get to know their RAs and to engage in the living-learning experience through active participation.

Daniel Webster College students are encouraged to join existing campus organizations or explore with the Administration starting their own if there is not an existing club that they are interested in. Students are allow to plan on-campus activities, programs and events through the Clubs and Organizations Executive Committee (COEC) and the Student Activities Board.

Daniel Webster College offers three traditional halls to the students, most of the rooms are double occupancy with a limited number of single and triple rooms available. Each room comes with cable TV access, a telephone outlet, and Internet access. Each hall has card-operated laundry facilities and most have lounges equipped with TV and community space for students to socialize and study. Some halls have common area kitchens.
