Mount Ida College

Mount Ida College was a private nonprofit institution located in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, that offered undergraduate programs across a variety of career-oriented disciplines. The college historically provided associate and bachelor's degree programs with a focus on applied fields, serving students in the Greater Boston metropolitan area.

Mount Ida College offered programs in areas including veterinary technology, funeral service, fashion design, interior design, business, and criminal justice, among others. The institution was known for providing hands-on, professionally oriented education at the undergraduate level. Mount Ida College closed in 2018 and its programs and students were transitioned primarily to the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Located in Newton Centre, MA, a suburban community just west of Boston, the college occupied a residential campus setting. Its closure represented a significant change in the landscape of private nonprofit higher education in Massachusetts, and its former students and programs were absorbed into the UMass system.
