Patterns

The registry’s 175 case files viewed as one record: every institutional lifespan on a single axis, and how each kind of college tends to meet its end. A curated register, not a census of American higher ed — these are the closures we have documented, and the counts below describe this collection only.

Lifelines — founded to closed

One hairline per institution, drawn from founding to the documented end. Color is fate (rust closed · amber merged/absorbed/acquired · green saved/revived · dashed amber announced-pending). Absorbed and merged entries trace their predecessor lineage — the line ends at the combination, not at the successor’s demise. Click a line to open its case file.
