Claims of a college closure epidemic are exaggerated; only 49 out of 3,227 nonprofit colleges have closed since 2020.
At least 15 nonprofit institutions announced closures amid a difficult year for higher education as the sector navigated rising operating costs and political minefields amid a presidential transition. That number is down from last year when Inside Higher Ed tracked 16 closure announcements but up from 2023 when 14 nonprofit colleges announced plans to shutter their operations. That count does not include colleges that closed this year but had previously announced plans to do so.
