Harrison College Closing

print-2

INDIANAPOLIS  — Harrison College is closing all of its campuses in Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina.

The private, for-profit, Indianapolis-based College said Friday most operations will close effective Sunday. Its program known as the Chef’s Academy will close at the end of the current term on Oct. 14.

School officials say that declining student enrollment and financial pressure are the reasons for the closure.

Harrison College, formerly Indiana Business College, opened in 1902. Its website says it was purchased by Education Management Corp. in 1986.

The school has a location here in Terre Haute.

Harrison says it is working with other schools and state governing bodies “to ensure each student has a pathway to complete their education.”
