A small free-standing art college in Massachusetts, Montserrat College of Art, may merge into Salem State University, the two institutions announced Monday. The two institutions have been in private due diligence discussions and now plan to move to public discussions involving various campus constituencies. A statement from Stephen D. Immerman, the Montserrat president, said, "Montserrat offers a unique brand of arts education for a unique student population. However, as a small, private college with less than 400 students, it is challenging to provide the resources needed to maintain and grow the competitive advantages needed for working artists. By joining Salem State, we believe that we can ensure that the Montserrat name and the college's tradition of excellence and student-centered education will remain available for future generations of aspiring artists and designers."
