Template:Short description Mount Sacred Heart College was a small Catholic women's college in Hamden, Connecticut. It was founded in 1946 as Mount Sacred Heart Junior College[1] and closed in mid-1997 due to low enrollment.[2]
The college was founded by Sister Mary Antonine Signorelli[1] and operated by the Missionary Zelatrices of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an Italian religious institute now known as the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Academics
Mount Sacred Heart was designed as a sisters' college, or a college primarily designed to educate nuns.[1] In light of its mission, the curriculum focused on theology, although it was not limited to that area. Faculty members offered courses in Latin, education, writing, and other subjects.[3][4]
Courses were initially offered on the traditional American two-semester system, but by 1966 the college had adopted a trimester system.[5] Graduates received associate degrees.[6]
Legacy
The Mount Sacred Heart campus is now used by the Zelatrices' successor, the Apostles of the Sacred Heart, to operate Sacred Heart Academy, a preparatory school for high school-aged girls.[7]
The only remaining sisters' college in the United States is the Assumption College for Sisters in Mendham Borough, New Jersey.
