Presentation College in Aberdeen to close this year

COVID-19 pandemic blamed for worsening finances

Presentation College in Aberdeen will not enroll students for the next academic year and will cease teaching at its Aberdeen campus after the spring and summer sessions this year, the college announced Tuesday.

Current students will have an option to complete their education with three other institutions that have agreed to accept Presentation’s full credits and offer similar tuition. The school said it remains fully accredited.

“It is important to us that every student has multiple, comparable options to complete their chosen degrees on time and without an increased financial investment,” President Paula Langteau said in a statement.
