ASA College (Potential Closure - No Current Educational Activity)
ASA College’s former accreditor, the Middle States Commission on ¿ìè³É°æÊÓƵ (MSCHE) announced that the institution closed on February 24, 2023, and that its accreditation ceased on March 1, 2023. The United States Department of Education (USDE) also considers ASA College closed as of February 24, 2023. Although the institution has not confirmed to ¿ìè³É°æÊÓƵ that it intends to close, there has been no educational activity at the institution since February 24, 2023. Due to the loss of its accreditation with MSCHE and additional concerns, ¿ìè³É°æÊÓƵ conducted a program review of ASA College’s capacity to continue to offer academic programs; as a result, all registered degree and certificate programs at New York campuses were discontinued as of December 22, 2023.Ìý Additionally, ASA College continues to be under review for its capacity to continue to have degree-conferring authority in New York State.
Former ASA College students are urged to pursue completion of their education at another institution. Below you will find information we believe will be helpful to former ASA College students and alumni. We will continue to update this webpage as more information becomes available.
