Wells College in New York to close at the end of spring semester due to financial challenges from pandemic, student decline, and inflation.
Wells College, a small college in the Finger Lakes region of New York, will close at the end of the spring semester. The college, founded in 1868 by financier Henry Wells, faced financial challenges due to a global pandemic, decreased student numbers, inflationary pressures, and negative sentiment towards higher education. With 335 full-time students in 2021, the college formed a strategic partnership with Manhattanville University to support current students in completing their education.
