Becker College in Worcester will close for good at end of current school year

Telegram & Gazette 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.

Then & Now: 44 Elm St , Worcester

Then & Now: 44 Elm St., Worcester With World War II underway, Becker School of Business Administration was faced with a depleted student body. Like many colleges, with a good percentage of its students leaving for the military, staying afloat was a struggle. Becker began to consolidate. One of its bigger buildings, on Front Street in downtown, was suddenly quiet, near empty. School officials figured the most efficient option was to consolidate. In 1942, the school bought the Washburn Estate at Elm and Linden streets, shown in our Then photo. It was renamed Converse Hall, and for the following decades it was used for offices, classrooms, a library and student housing. 

Becker College planning for potential closure

Becker College said Tuesday it is considering options for its future, including closing, amid financial uncertainty and other challenges, and after affiliation talks with another institution fell apart. The Worcester school is unlikely to continue operations through the next academic year, the New England Commission of Higher Education, an accreditation agency, said in a joint statement with the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education on Tuesday. The college said it is halting recruiting activities. Becker s enrollment before the coronavirus pandemic hit was 1,698 undergraduate and graduate students, and its endowment is $5.1 million. By enrollment, Becker is the 10th largest school in Central Massachusetts.

Becker College in jeopardy of closing for good

WORCESTER The future of Becker College is shadowed by uncertainty, with state education boards determining that the school s struggling financial standing makes it unlikely to survive another academic year. The school had been hoping to partner with another college in an attempt to stay afloat. That effort failed, according to Becker President Nancy P. Crimmin. Since the negotiations with a potential affiliation partner ended in January, I, along with cabinet members and appropriate staff, have been working to further analyze the financials, and to develop numerous scenarios regarding our operations. The situation has been dynamic,  Crimmin wrote in a letter to the college on Tuesday.
