Labouré College of Healthcare announced it will cease academic operations at the end of August, citing persistent financial, enrollment, and regulatory pressures. Nearby Curry College agreed, pending approvals, to absorb Labouré’s nursing program and operate it under a new Labouré Center for Advancing Healthcare Opportunity. Labouré said credits will transfer and tuition will remain at its announced rate for students continuing at Curry; the institution also plans articulation agreements for other programs. Curry intends to hire portions of Labouré’s faculty and staff to preserve curriculum continuity. The closure highlights continued consolidation risk for small, program‑focused institutions and underscores the operational value of regional teach‑out partnerships and rapid regulatory coordination to protect student progress.
