Engineering a new way

Amanda Pratt graduated from Arrowhead High School with scholarship offers, a 4.0 grade-point average and acceptance letters from colleges that included the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Northwestern University.

But when she reports to school in the fall, it won’t be to any of those better-known institutions of higher education.

Instead, Pratt’s off to a small, unaccredited college outside of Boston that graduated its first class of students this spring – 66 out of a beginning group of 75 students.
