History

It was established in 1975 as Woodbury Associates by Larry Mandell and Robert Brower.[1] In 1984, it received regional accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

In 1993 it began offering associate's degrees with bachelor's degrees first being offered in 2000.[2] At the time of its closure, 42 percent of the classes were offered online, though traditionally the college had mostly offered in-person instruction.
