Newbury College was a private college in Brookline, Massachusetts, originally founded in 1962.[1]

The college was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) but was placed on probation in June 2018, when its worsening financial standing was determined to pose a potential violation of NEASC's accreditation requirements.[2] In December 2018, the college announced that it would close at the end of the 2018–19 academic year.[3][4]

Lasell University was named as Newbury's institution of record and provides enrollment verifications and copies of transcripts for Newbury students,[5] though Lasell does not possess archival material from Newbury.[6]
