BRIDGEPORT, CT — Paier College has formally notified the Connecticut Office of Higher Education of its decision to shut down operations.

The announcement came Tuesday as the private, for-profit art school submitted its withdrawal of authorization to operate in the state.

The college, which had been closed since last fall, previously filed an appeal in hopes of reopening.

However, that effort came to a halt last month when Paier lost its national accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges. No specific reason has been provided by the institution for the closure.

Founded as a training ground for careers in art, design, communications, business, and coding, Paier College had recently relocated to Bridgeport in an attempt to reinvent itself.

The school’s website still describes a mission to prepare students for careers in creative industries, though operations have remained suspended.

The Office of Higher Education confirmed the notification and said Paier has now officially entered the process of withdrawing its operational status in Connecticut.

The school’s closure follows mounting challenges faced by small, for-profit institutions across the country — particularly those dependent on accreditation to secure student enrollment and federal aid access.

The fate of current and former students, as well as the handling of academic records, has not yet been publicly addressed.
