Sattler College

Entrance to 100 Cambridge Street

On October 26, 2017, the college announced that it had secured the 17th floor of the Leverett Saltonstall Building for its first campus.[9] It is located in downtown Boston in Beacon Hill. The college says that it had no plans for building science labs. Instead they plan "to have students take laboratory courses through the Harvard University Extension School, Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies, or elsewhere and transfer credits back to Sattler." [10] The college does plan to lease out apartment space to its students to provide housing options.[11]

Sattler adheres to the Oxford academic model. Classes are mostly discussion-based, with briefer lectures and greater student involvement. They told the Massachusetts BHE, "Faculty will serve primarily as mentors and discussion leaders, not as lecturers or providers of information. Students will be directed to on-line lecture sets and will be responsible for learning outside of class, e.g., researching, reading, and watching video lectures. In class, ideas will be reinforced, discussed, and critiqued.

Instead of having a library of their own, Sattler utilizes the Boston Public Library for its students. Sattler also provides electronic library resources by subscribing to the eBook services provided by two leading digital library service providers: Proquest (ebrary) and EBSCO." [10]

In its December 2016 decision, the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education granted Sattler College the ability to grant the following degrees:[10][12]

• Bachelor of Science in Business
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Science in Human Biology
• Bachelor of Arts in Biblical and Religious Studies
• Bachelor of Arts in History

The college has announced that, "within ten years [by 2028], we plan to seek authorization to also offer programs in Civil Engineering, English, Education, Journalism, Mathematics, Physics, and Social Sciences." [10]

Sattler requires an extensive core curriculum based on the liberal arts, including writing, history, biology, math, and economics. Students will also be required to take religion courses on Christianity.[12] These courses include learning Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek, church history, and studying the basics of Christianity.[15]

[14] The college says it will focus on growing students "as a whole" through "wise study, mentoring, and discipleship." [13]
