Nasson College

Nasson College started off as a small, quiet school that wasn't very well known, but it eventually converted into a well-respected institute for students of all different varieties. Nasson College offered majors such as Biology, English, Environmental Science, Government, History, Mathematics, Medical Technology, and many more subjects of similar interest.

Nasson College was established in 1912 as Nasson Institute, a two-year program for women. It eventually became a four-year college in 1935, and first admitted men in 1952.

After turning co-ed, Nasson quickly reached a student enrollment of over 900 students, which was great for the time period.

On a 280-acre campus in the village of Springvale, Maine, the campus included a learning resources center housing the library and audio-visual services, a science center equipped with a rooftop greenhouse, laboratories for the sciences, a gymnasium, little theatre, dining commons, classroom buildings, health clinic, and student center. Nasson had a total of 11 residential units ranging from small frame houses to large dormitories.
