The College will not be enrolling students for the Fall 2023 semester
During it’s nearly 200-year history, Cazenovia College survived through many difficult and challenging times – the Great Depression, World War II, a major building fire in 1959, and more, but a combination of financial challenges were more than the College could overcome and consequently, the College announced it would not be enrolling students for the Fall 2023 semester.
The business realities that led to this extremely difficult decision were accelerated by the global pandemic and skyrocketing inflation. The population of college-aged individuals had been shrinking, making it hard for small private colleges like Cazenovia to maintain enrollment levels. Additionally, the coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted recruitment and fundraising efforts while increasing economic burdens for the College.
