Holy Names University in Oakland will close after spring semester in 2023 due to declining enrollment and other struggles, officials with the 154-year-old school said Monday.
Students will have the option to continue studies at Dominican University of California and graduate on schedule, and the school said faculty and staff will have the chance to work at its San Rafael campus.
"We have been doing our best to find a partner to keep the university functioning and continue HNU's mission," said HNU Board Chairperson Steven Borg, in a statement.
Dominican University of California and Holy Names have formalized an agreement by which academic programs at Holy Names will transfer seamlessly to Dominican after the spring term and accreditation body approvals. There are 520 undergraduates and 423 graduate students currently enrolled at Holy Names. This number for spring 2023 has significantly declined as students struggle to make tuition payments or are uncertain about the university's future. Currently 449 students total are registered for spring.
