American International College at Risk of Probation Over Financial Deficit
What happened
The New England Commission of Higher Education placed American International College at risk of probation and accreditation withdrawal on October 8, 2026. The college must show cause to the Commission in January 2027 to prevent probation. The college faces a deficit expected to exceed $17 million by 2028, and over $11 million of its remaining funds are restricted.

Why it matters
The college's financial instability, including the projected $17 million deficit, impacts its long-term viability. The restriction on over $11 million in funds affects the college's operational capacity. This situation follows the closure of Hampshire College in April 2026 after similar financial struggles.
The New England Commission of Higher Education has demanded that American International College provide a sustainability plan for its operation.
