WORCESTER — Becker College, whose origins date to the late 1700s, will close at the end of the academic year.
The school last month made it clear that its future was in doubt, owing to financial struggles caused in large part by the pandemic.
On Monday, Christine Cassidy, chairwoman of the Board of Trustees, confirmed what students — and neighbors of its campuses in Worcester and Leicester — had hoped to avoid.
In a post on the Becker College website, she wrote: "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."
