Just weeks after Becker College administration revealed that school's efforts to negotiate a new partnership in light of its dire financial straits had fallen through, its board announced on March 29 the Worcester school would permanently close at the end of the spring semester. Many of Becker's programs are being consumed by area colleges, with most putting out a welcome sign for Becker students looking for a new school this fall. There have been other college closures the last few years, including the former Atlantic Union College in Lancaster in 2018, as New England's higher education industry faces a steady drop in the number of high school graduates, on top of the disruptions wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.
