The Massachusetts college will wind down operations in August, giving students the choice to transfer elsewhere. Nearby Clark University will take on Becker's acclaimed video-game design program. Like many colleges that have recently closed, Becker was vulnerable before the pandemic. Enrollment declined in recent years. This fall, the college enrolled about 1,500 students. That was down from more than 1,800 during the 2015-16 academic year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
