Bay State College (Bay State or BSC) was a private for-profit college[1] in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1946 and was accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education. In 2021, after several years of financial challenges and claims of fraud, the accreditor began to issue formal warnings and demand further information from the college; it closed two years later.[2]
Bay State College specialized in business, information technology, and healthcare. The college offered associate and bachelor's degree programs.[3] The college had three divisions: Day, Evening and Online. It had an additional campus in Taunton, Massachusetts.[4] At the time of its closure, it was owned by Ambow Education Holding Ltd. of the Cayman Islands and Beijing, People's Republic of China.[5]
