Moore College of Art and Design

Moore College of Art & Design (MCAD) posted an interesting virtual tour on YouTube via the institution's web site. MCAD was founded in 1848 as the Philadelphia School of Design for Women and operated as part of The Franklin Institute from 1850-1853 before gaining its independence. It received authorization to offer baccalaureate degrees in 1931 and merged with the Moore Institute of Art, Science, and Industry the following year. The name changed to Moore College of Art in 1963 and to Moore College of Art and Design in 1989. Four hundred fifty-four students were enrolled during the fall 2014.

Small higher education institutions will be the primary focus of the Small College Garden. It will also highlight small college towns.

There is a Small College Garden group for those who would like to join discussion and share information through Facebook.

I will typically be posting links to newspaper articles and other information on institutions with fewer than 2,500 students or college towns with populations less than 25,000. I look forward to receiving your comments, suggestions or links to relevant resources!!

I maintain several blogs as a hobby and encourage you to check out the College History Garden for posts on colleges that have closed, merged, or changed names.
