Bay Path University – Vice President for Academic Affairs

Founded in 1897, Bay Path reinvented itself several times over before becoming a comprehensive university in 2014. Headquartered in beautiful Longmeadow, MA with an additional campus location in nearby East Longmeadow, Bay Path primarily serves the Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York regions, although nationally recognized and accredited online degree programs, especially in niche programs, draw students from farther afield. Located a short 25-minute drive north of Hartford, CT, 90 minutes west of Boston, MA, and 2.5 hours northeast of New York, NY, Longmeadow, MA is a beautiful, historic New England town with easy access to large urban centers and a highly ranked public school system. The University offers more than 90 different degree programs to over 2,400 students on campus and online through three schools and multiple modalities.
