The Ohio institution’s move to close comes around the same time that Mountain State College, another proprietary institution, shut down permanently.
Dive Brief:
The North Coast College, a for-profit in Ohio, plans to close at the end of August after years of financial struggles and accreditation issues.
In a letter posted to North Coast’s website, President Milan Milasinovic said the college will shutter Aug. 30 after 58 years in business.
“The decision to close the college comes after careful consideration of various factors, including shifts in educational landscapes and evolving community needs,” Milasinovic said.
Dive Insight:
North Coast’s accreditor, Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, put the institution on probation beginning in 2022.
At the time, ACCSC found that North Coast did not meet its standards on management, financial structure, student achievement and required reports, and said that the college “failed to demonstrate successful student achievement” in any of its reportable programs.
