Providence Christian College said its board will close the institution at the end of the 2025–26 academic year after exhausting options to stabilize operations. The college pointed to weak enrollment, rising costs, recent accreditation challenges and the loss of federal funding as the key drivers of its decision. Accreditor action and leadership turnover had already put pressure on the campus: WASC placed Providence Christian on probation before the closure announcement, and the institution had experienced frequent leadership changes. The college, founded in 2002, enrolled roughly 168 students in fall 2024 and had been operating with a curriculum and operational model heavily dependent on donor support. Officials said they will work to finalize teach‑out plans and minimize disruption for current students.
