New Haven’s Albertus Magnus College will debut its relocated East Hartford campus Monday.
East Hartford Mayor Marcia A. Leclerc will join Albertus President Marc M. Camille, alumni and other dignitaries for a 6 p.m. grand opening at the college’s new 5,000-square-foot quarters inside an office building at 225 Pitkin St., across the street from its previous campus at 222 Pitkin St., in the shadow of Goodwin College.
The school said its East Hartford campus, first opened in 1985, is aimed primarily at accommodating working adults.
Albertus Magnus is a private, coed liberal-arts college founded in 1925 by Catholic nuns on a former New Haven estate.
Its curriculum has expanded over the years to include masters programs in liberal arts, art therapy, business administration and education science, among others.
Greater Hartford currently is home, or serves as an outpost, for at least 11 Connecticut two- and four-year colleges and universities.
CORRECTION: A previous version incorrectly stated Albertus Magnus College was opening its first East Hartford campus.
