COGSWELL COLLEGE

Cogswell College 

 Cogswell College was established in San Francisco in 1888 after endowment by Dr. Henry Daniel Cogswell (Jameson #1656), a wealthy dentist. Dr. Cogswell, born in Connecticut in 1819, came to California during the 1849 goldrush after having learned dentistry and first practiced in Providence, Rhode Island. The school originated as a high school, offering technical education for boys and business courses for girls. In 1930 it became a technical institution offering a college-level two-year program. The College became a four—year institution in 1972 and currently offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Engineering Technology in the fields of Electronics, Mechanical, Civil, and Computer Engineering. It also offers courses leading to Bachelor of Science degrees in Fire Safety Administration and Fire Prevention Technology.

The College has been located variously in the San Francisco Bay Area during the years as its role has developed. In 1985 it moved from Nob Hill in San Francisco to Cupertino (near Palo Alto and San Jose, in Silicon Valley) to be close to the industries it serves. Enrollment at Cupertino approximates 300, and an increase to 800 is planned for the early 1990s.
