Magdalen College, in Warner, New Hampshire, is a four-year coeducational Roman Catholic liberal arts college offering a curriculum based on the classic texts of Western civilization.

The college was established by Catholic laymen responding to the Second Vatican Council’s call for spiritual renewal. It was chartered August 22, 1973 and enrolled its first students in September 1974.[1]

Magdalen is an accredited member of the American Academy for Liberal Education,[2] but is not regionally accredited.
