Jacksonville, FL — After 99 years, Jones College is closing its doors.

The College says the Secretary of Education has affirmed a US Department of Education ruling that strips their accrediting body- the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools- from recognition by the US DOE. Jones College says, as a result, they are in the process of closing out the main campus. They are not seeking to renew accreditation with any other regional or national organization.

A public notice posted on the Jones College website says the closeout is expected to be completed by December 31, 2017. A banner at the top of the site says they are no longer accepting applications.
