Founded in 1939 by the Sisters of Saint Dominic, Caldwell College is a Catholic institution in the Judaeo-Christian tradition with a heritage of eight centuries of Dominican commitment to higher learning. Serving a diverse population of all ages, Caldwell College provides a liberal arts education which promotes spiritual, intellectual and aesthetic growth. Upon this foundation the College offers career-related programs which prepare its graduates to take advantage of opportunities in a complex society.
Through a curriculum and extracurricular program rooted in the Catholic humanist tradition, the College seeks to empower its students to comprehend community and global issues and to act responsibly toward self and others.
The college was established by Dominican Order, a worldwide community of preachers, scholars and educators which traces its origins to the thirteenth century. This Order had its beginnings in an age not unlike the present day, a time of unrest and transition in the social, economic, moral and intellectual sphere. Dedicated to the pursuit of truth, the Order has found itself since its inception at the heart of higher education and its climate of study and prayer has produced such scholars as Thomas Aquinas, social reformers like Catherine of Siena, artists like Fra Angelico, and scientists like Albert the Great. This inherited integration of the arts, humanities and sciences with the deepest expression of the contemplative and creative spirit of men and women forms the basis of the educational philosophy of Caldwell College.
In 1952, Caldwell College received full accreditation from the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Caldwell has maintained this accreditation which was last reaffirmed in November 2000 when the Commission accepted the Periodic Review Report and commended the institution for the quality of the report.
In 1974, Caldwell College became the first institution in New Jersey to award the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. In 1979, Caldwell became one of the few institutions in the state to offer a unique external degree program. In 1985, the Board of Trustees of the College voted to make Caldwell College fully coeducational, enabling men to receive the superior education and career preparation that women had been able to receive for fifty years. Caldwell College welcomed the first full-time male students in the fall of 1986.
In November 1992, Caldwell College reached another plateau: the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education granted approval for the College to offer the M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction. During the summer of 1993, the first graduate students began classes.
