Talk:Albertus Magnus College

Untitled
I searched on the net for information about the DUI, and was unable to find a reliable source. I think one or two other people should try their own search and then delete it if we cannot find a source. If you know the source (assuming it's not bogus), feel free to add it back.

Consensus for information change
Hello, Looking for a consensus to submit a "request an edit" template to update some out of date information. For example, in the first line, it says "Albertus Magnus College is a private Roman Catholic university", however, they are a college. Other edits would include that the abbreviation for Great Northeast Athletic Conference is incorrect, and should be GNAC instead of GNC. The college also now has ice hockey and lacrosse for men's sports.

Other information that would like to be changed is: HISTORY: Albertus Magnus College was founded in 1925 by the Dominican Sisters of Saint Mary of the Springs, who are now known as the Dominican Sisters of Peace. They had purchased an estate a year prior in New Haven, Connecticut, in an effort to establish the first Catholic college for women in New England. A charter was signed on July 13, 1925, and the first classes at Albertus Magnus College were held on September 24, 1925 in Rosary Hall, the mansion on the property. The college's first chaplain, Rev. Artur Chandler, stated that the college's initial goal was to educate women "to become thinkers and leaders and the noble among the ladyhood of the future.

ORGANIZATION: The College's Board of Trustees was reorganized in 1969 so that 80 percent of its members are lay people; the others are members of the Dominican Sisters of Peace. The College remains true to its Dominican heritage and continues to be dedicated to the search for truth in all its dimensions.

ACADEMICS: Its values- and liberal arts-based education is recognized by external rankings such as US News & World Report, Money Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education, and has been recognized as a Military Friendly School. For seven consecutive years, graduating classes at Albertus have achieved post-graduate employment and graduate school success at a rate of at least 95%. The College has an enrollment of approximately 1,300 students across its traditional undergraduate program, accelerated adult degree program, and 11 graduate programs. Proud to enroll a student body where more than half of its students come from minority backgrounds and nearly the same percentage of undergraduates receiving Federal Pell Grants and being first generation college goers, Albertus is known for its innovative curricular offerings, recently launching new Bachelor’s degree programs in Game and Computer Arts, General Health Sciences, Interdisciplinary Studies, Project Management, Public Health, Social Media, and Supply Chain Management; among its graduate programs is the State of Connecticut’s only Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling program. As of 2022, 4 in 10 are First Gen students; 90% receive some form of scholarships, grants, loans, or work study assistance; is 50/50 male to female ratio; and more than 50% are Students of Color.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Styrrel (talk) 17:21, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I strongly encourage you to review our policies and practices around (a) neutral point of view and (b) reliable sources. What you have proposed is biased and lacking sources so it needs to be significantly rewritten before it could be added to an encyclopedia article. Please let us know if you need any help!

 * Can you please let me know what part of this is biased? Styrrel (talk) 12:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure! Here are a few examples: "The College remains true to its Dominican heritage and continues to be dedicated to the search for truth in all its dimensions." "Proud to enroll a student body..." "...Albertus is known for its innovative curricular offerings..."
 * Additionally, please note that although the institution's name has "college" it is clearly a university with multiple graduate programs. U.S. News & World Report explicitly classifies the institution among "Regional Universities - North." ElKevbo (talk) 02:00, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As far as I am concerned, colleges may or may not have a graduate degree program, but it is possible to be classified as a college and still have a graduate program. Albertus is a 4-year, private, not-for-profit, and liberal arts school, which are all indicators of a college. According to Wikipedia's own definition, "Colleges vary in terms of size, degree, and length of stay. Two-year colleges, also known as junior or community colleges, usually offer an associate degree, and four-year colleges usually offer a bachelor's degree. Often, these are entirely undergraduate institutions, although some have graduate school programs." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College. Furthermore, "In the United States there is no nationally standardized definition for the term university, although the term has traditionally been used to designate research institutions and was once reserved for doctorate-granting research institutions. Some states, such as Massachusetts, will only grant a school "university status" if it grants at least two doctoral degrees." University.
 * I will contact the communications person and see how we can go about rewriting. Thank you for your help. Styrrel (talk) 13:29, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry but we stick with what published, reliable sources write. And in this instance we have a really good source that classifies this institution as a university. The subject's preferences are terribly relevant or convincing.
