Dowling College to Lose Accreditation Aug. 31, Agency Says

Dowling College will lose its accreditation on Aug. 31 and must implement a plan for students to complete their degrees at other institutions, according to a report Tuesday from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.  The independent agency, which measures the quality of more than 500 colleges and universities, decided at its meeting Thursday to withdraw Dowling’s accreditation based upon two years of closely monitoring the private liberal arts school’s financial future and ability to serve its students.
