Alliance University, previously known as Nyack College, is shuttering its windows and closing its doors. 

On June 26, Alliance University received notice from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education that its accreditation was being withdrawn as of December 31, 2023.

This, along with their current financial situation, led the school to close for good.

"After carefully evaluating all the options and the current financial situation, the Board has made the difficult decision to wind down on-campus and online educational offerings as of August 31, 2023, said the school in a statement. "Alliance University will not offer courses for the Fall semester. This news is a tremendous loss for us who love Alliance University and the people here. We are all grieving."

Founded in 1882, Alliance University has been rooted in its commitment to academic excellence and spiritual development. Established as an educational institution of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), Alliance University has been training men and women for global impact since its inception. 

Although the school will come to a close this fall, the Board of Directors for the Christian and Missionary Alliance is currently exploring the possibility of continuing the Alliance Theological Seminary program.
