Founded in 1946, New England College was established to serve the needs of servicemen and women attending college on the G.I. Bill after World War II. During its early years, the college purchased the Torrington Park School for girls in Arundel, England in the county of West Sussex. For a time, the school functioned as an extension campus for NEC students wishing to study abroad; at one point, the college even changed its logo to incorporate the flags of both countries. However, this program was later abandoned.
