Mitchell College is a private, independently-operated liberal arts college most noted for its Behavioral Science, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Sport Management, and Business Administration programs that grants both baccalaureate and associate degrees. Located on the banks of the Thames River, in New London, Connecticut, USA, it was founded in 1938 on the former estate of Alfred Mitchell. Its campus offers such amenities as on-campus housing (including four multi-level, dormitory-style buildings and four residential river houses), a cafe, ice cream shop, preserve area known as "Mitchell Woods," multiple playing fields, and a beach. == History == On September 14, 1938, a group of New London, Connecticut citizens founded New London Junior College as a private, nonprofit, coeducational, two-year college in their community. The college opened its doors to the first freshman class on Sept. 18, 1939. During the fall term of 1942-43, nearly all of the college’s male students entered the armed services, and the United States Army and Coast Guard made urgent demands for the use of the college’s facilities. A special summer session for veterans began in June, 1946, and regular classes resumed in September of that year. In 1950, trustees officially adopted the name Mitchell College to honor the descendants of the Alfred Mitchell family, principal benefactors of the College since its founding.
