[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom’s college went under. It was a Catholic women’s college so served a niche that doesn’t really exist anymore. And it was a very slow sink — probably at least thirty years for it to finally go under. This indicates to me that these schools can limp along for a long time. I’d be more worried about cuts in programs than actually belly-up closure.[/quote] I think if you stick to the National Liberal arts colleges in the top 100 of USNWR, you'll be fine. Significant problems/changes are more likely for regional privates (limping or changing into very pre-professional quasi trade schools instead of liberal arts). Catholic colleges are likely to continue closing--as are schools that are expensive to run like art schools or culinary schools. Regional publics are also in danger.[/quote]
