Jamestown Business College, established in 1886, will cease operations by early 2025, the college announced on Thursday. The decision comes as the college cited its size and “the expanding government regulations” as reasons for no longer enrolling new students. The last group of students is set to graduate in February 2025, with the college officially closing sometime after. For 138 years, Jamestown Business College has been a staple in the community, providing practical business education to countless students. The college’s historic roots trace back to 1886 when E.J. Coburn opened the earliest iteration of the college with the mission of preparing young people for practical pursuits. Since then, Jamestown Business College has led numerous students into successful business-related careers, staying true to its founding purpose. The impending closure has left many in the community saddened and reflective on the impact of the institution. News of the closure has sparked an outpouring of support and fond memories from the community, with many expressing their gratitude for the college’s contribution to Jamestown. The college will continue to provide the coursework and graduation requirements for all students currently enrolled, with a commitment to celebrating its wonderful history as it works through this final chapter with its students, alumni, and local community.
