Convenience and Flexibility
Andover Newton prides itself as a convenient and flexible institution, recognizing that many of its students are not only second and third career folks, but many students commute from as far away as Vermont and New York weekly.
Classes meet for three hours once a week and some of these meet in the evening. There is housing for full-time students and commuters as well as for singles, couples and families. There is a commuter lounge in upper Noyes, available for use 24 hours a day, as well as a food cart open for times between breakfast and dinner that the cafeteria does not serve meals.
Andover Newton is also conveniently located, just off of routes 9 and 95, and within a few hundred yards of the Newton Centre green-line T-stop. Just down the hill from campus there are numerous restaurants in the center of town, and a few miles away is the lovely and historic city of Boston. Take the T or drive down Beacon Street and park under the Boston Common and you will be walking distance from all of Boston’s fantastic sites.
Finally, Andover Newton offers a vast array of educational opportunities for students who are returning to school after leaving previous careers or students coming directly from college. There are Special Student programs and degree opportunities for students without baccalaureate degrees. We offer a Doctor of Minsitry (D. Min.), a Master of Divinity (M.Div.), a Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.), five different Master of Arts degrees, as well as certificate programs, classes for ‘ministers in the vicinity’ and lay-auditor opportunities.
