Beal College is a small private proprietary college located in Bangor, Maine, USA.
History
Founded in 1891, the College was originally named Bangor Business College but was later named after its primary founder, Mary Beal.[1] It was first located in downtown Bangor, before later moving to a larger facility in 1972. Beal moved to a new campus in 2004.
Traditions
The Latin motto on Beal College's seal is "sed vitae discimus", a short form of Non scholae, sed vitae discimus. This Latin phrase is apt for a career college as it translates "We do not learn for the school, but for life", meaning that one should not gain knowledge and skill to please a teacher or master, but because of the benefits they will gain in their life.
Programs
The College specializes in associate-level degree programs in business, medical, law enforcement and other high-demand service fields. Beal uses neither a semester system nor a quarter system, but rather 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 accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).[2] The Medical Assisting program is further accredited[3] 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,[4] whence comes the ABA professional designation.
