List of Colleges and Universities that have Closed, Merged, or Changed their Names

The intent of this exercise is to offer a place that individuals can consult to see if an institution is now closed or if the name has been changed due to a merger or for other reasons.  Some institutions may’ve been “colleges in name only”…for this list, if the institution referred to itself as a college or university, it was included. 

 

Separate files are linked below for each of the states and the District of Columbia.  I also included a link for international institutions and look forward to any contributions or suggestions from those with knowledge of institutions outside the United States.

 

The lists are maintained as a hobby and I appreciate any updates, corrections, links to additional information, or suggestions to improve the usefulness of the list(s). Feel free to E-mail to Ray Brown. 

 

I will be adding selected images and documents to the site as time permits...see Image and PDF Index and Books of Interest.  I am also playing with a new blog as a way to post links or images and through the “add comments” option, to provide an easy way for those using these pages to post updates and additional information…see the College History Garden.  Thanks to all who have joined in the effort!!
