College Closing in 2021

Becker College is closing at the end of the current school year.

Becker College Board of Trustees Chair Christine L. Cassidy released a statement Monday morning saying the school would close and current students would be offered transitional support through the end of August.

Cassidy’s Statement:

It is with deep regret that I share the news that on March 28, the Board of Trustees voted to permanently close Becker College at the end of the current academic year. The College will provide academic, support and transitional services to students through August 31, 2021. Following an orderly transition, classes will not resume in the Fall.

Particularly as a Becker alumna myself, this was an exceptionally painful decision for the Board to come to, but one that followed many months of striving for a viable, sustainable, and responsible path to address the increasing financial pressures on our College.

We are committed to doing everything possible to ensure that our students, faculty, and staff have access to the best opportunities. The College has made arrangements with several area universities to provide admission to Becker students; those details are available on this website.

The college has had severe financial issues.
