| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Anna Maria College sees its mission to be that of fostering in its students intellectual involvement, career preparation, social awareness, dedication to justice and peace, religious and moral sensitivity, and a lifestyle capable of sustaining these within balance.
Situated in the town of Paxton, an hour drive to Boston, Hartford, or Providence, Anna Maria College's campus is surrounded by century-old colonial homes in a charming New England setting.
The 180-acre campus is located just eight miles from downtown Worcester, New England's second-largest city and home to 10 institutions of higher education and a community of some 170,000 residents.
Worcester has a world-class art museum, a beautifully refurbished 19th Century concert hall, the New England Science Center, a 270-acre wildlife sanctuary, and one of the world's best collections of early Americana at the American Antiquarian Society. The Worcester Centrum offers a wide range of events, from professional sports to concerts by world-renowned artists.
Worcester County provides bountiful areas for boating, swimming, and skiing. Two hours away are the beaches of Cape Cod, Maine, and New Hampshire. Also within driving distance are the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont. |

|
Anna Maria College was founded by the Sisters of Saint Anne in 1946 on a temporary campus located at Saint Anne's Academy in Marlboro, Massachusetts. In 1952, the college relocated to a fine, old colonial estate in Paxton, Massachusetts.
Today, Anna Maria College remains committed to its founding principle of quality education for men and women within the Christian tradition. Throughout its history, the college has been dedicated to its goals of fostering intellectual involvement, religious sensitivity, and social awareness in an atmosphere characterized by personal service to the individual. |
