History

NECB was founded as the American Banking Institute (ABI) in 1909, the institute was later incorporated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1914.

ABI received their degree-granting authority in 1979 from the Board of Regents of Higher Education in Massachusetts to offer an associate degree in business administration. [3] In 1985, ABI received full college accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and College – the only bank sponsored educational institution in America to become accredited as a degree-granting college. In 1988, the member banks associated with ABI expanded throughout New England and later voted to change the name to the New England Banking Institute.

Following the adoption of the name The New England Banking Institute (NEBI), NEBI received official licensure from the state of Connecticut Department of Higher Education in 1990. Connecticut was the first state outside of Massachusetts to recognize Boston-based NEBI as a degree-granting college. Rhode Island approved NEBI in 1993, while New Hampshire recognized the college in 1997. In 1998, The New England Banking Institute changed names to New England College of Finance.

NECB Online

In 2002, NECF selected the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation as a partner to deliver their degree programs online. The first online degree programs were delivered through NECFOnline.

In 2004, UC Berkeley adopted NECF's finance curriculum to include in their post-baccalaureate level online certificate program for college graduates in banking and investment management sectors. The "Accelerated Program in Financial Services" was launched in April 2004. UC Berkeley credits were transferred into master's programs at prominent NECF partner colleges.

In 2008, NECF changed its name to New England College of Business and Finance and was also granted degree elevation authority. In 2009, NECB introduced its Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), a Master of Science in finance (MSF), and the nation's first Master of Science in Business Ethics and Compliance (MBEC).

In 2010, NECB began working with Banker's Academy to develop enhanced educational opportunities and degree completion options to students. Courses taken through Banker's Academy may transfer as credit to one of NECB's online degree programs, including: Bachelor's degrees focused in marketing, management, business administration, banking and finance, or accounting. [4]

In 2011, New England College of Business introduced its Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. Since 2011, the college has introduced two additional graduate programs: Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) and Master of Healthcare Management (MHM). Two additional undergraduate programs have also begun during that time period: Bachelor of Science in Digital Marketing (BSDM) and Bachelor of Science in International Business (BSIB).

In 2014, NECB was awarded the 2014 Gold Best Practices Award for Distance Learning Programming from the U.S. Distance Learning Association (USDLA) [5] and the Association for Continuing Higher Education (ACHE) Award for Creative Use of Technology for its online textbook center. [6]
