Healthcare-focused Oak Point University to Close Abruptly in April

Oak Point University, a healthcare-focused institution in Chicago, will shutter next month, giving students little forewarning. Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, said Wednesday it established a teach-out agreement to accept students of the closing university, and all credits earned toward a degree at Oak Point will transfer. In recent years, Oak Point has faced declining enrollment and increased monitoring from the state nursing board and its accreditor.
