Beal University

[1] In the first year of operation, the Bangor Business School was attended by less than 25 students and housed on the second floor of the YMCA.

[1] It was at this point that the shorthand and typing departments moved to a secondary location on the Exchange Street Block.

Authorized by the legislature of the State of Maine, Beal College began offering an associate degree in science on April 28, 1968.

Each term starts every 8 weeks and the university runs classes year-round, allowing students to graduate in about one-third less time compared to a traditional school that operates on a 16-week semester schedule.

The university offers multiple diplomas designed to be completed in 9–14 months, as well as associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees.

[3] In addition to their traditional courses, Beal University also expanded into hybrid and completely online programs.
