Defunct institutions
Campus of
Bradford Academy , ca. 1905
At least eighty-two colleges and universities have closed in Massachusetts, beginning with
Worcester Medical Institute in 1859. Defunct institutes include multiple private institutions, and the public
Hyannis State Teachers College . Many schools were also merged into modern public universities, which form the origins of the
Boston ,
Dartmouth , and
Lowell campuses of the
University of Massachusetts system. Many of these were private institutions, which either merged with private institutions and ceased to grant degrees, or institutions like the
Swedenborg School of Religion , which merged with the
Pacific School of Religion upon its relocation to California. The
Bible Normal School was founded in Massachusetts but moved to
Connecticut before it was merged into the
Hartford Seminary . However, this excludes institutions which operated as part of for-profit corporations incorporated in other states, such as
Empire Beauty Schools and the
University of Phoenix , as they were not operated as separate college campuses and operated more as corporate entities.
Forbes National Rankings
The
Forbes National Colleges Ranking is a ranking system for the best
four-year colleges in the
United States .
[150] These colleges are ranked for their
alumni
salary ,
debt ,
return on investment ,
graduation rate , membership in Forbes honors lists such as
Forbes 30 Under 30 ,
student retention , and
academic achievement .
[151] As of 2021, Forbes recognizes the
University of Massachusetts Amherst as the
flagship
public university and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology as the flagship
private university in
Massachusetts .
