Beal College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beal College is a small college located in Bangor, Maine, USA. Founded in 1891, the College was originally named Bangor Business College but was later posthumously named after its primary founder, Mary Beal. It was first located in downtown Bangor, before later moving to a larger facility in the 1970s. Beal moved to a new modern campus in 2004.
The College specializes in associate-level degree programs in business, medical, legal and other high-demand service fields. Beal uses neither a semester system or quarter system, but the 8-week modular "Mod" system, essentially equal to half-semesters. An academic year is thus divided into 6 equal terms; allowing easier entry than traditional semester programs starting only in September and January.
Beal is fully accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS). The Medical Assisting program is further accredited by the American Association of Medical Assistants and the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and graduates can receive official certification status. Accounting degree recipients can qualify for the Accreditation Council for Accountancy and Taxation (ACAT) exams, whence comes the ABA professional designation.
