Index of Colleges and Universities that have Closed, Merged, or Changed Names

Individuals can consult the table below to see if an institution is now closed or if the name has been changed due to a merger or for other reasons.  There are separate pages linked below for each of the states and the District of Columbia.  I also included a link for international institutions.  Some institutions may’ve been “colleges in name only”…for this list, if the institution referred to itself as a college or university, it was included.

There is a College History Garden Facebook group or you can view and follow multiple College History Garden boards on Pinterest.

The lists are maintained as a hobby and I enter new information in the linked files on a regular basis.
There are over 5,922 entries now in July 2026.
