You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Newbury College''' was a [[private college]] in [[Brookline, Massachusetts|Brookline]], [[Massachusetts]], originally founded in 1962.<ref name="WBUR">((cite web|url=https://www.wbur.org/news/2018/12/14/newbury-college-closing|title=Newbury College In Brookline Will Close At End Of 2019 Spring Semester|last=Young|first=Colin A.|publisher=WBUR|date=14 December 2018|access-date=17 January 2023))</ref>

== History ==
Newbury College was founded in 1962 on Newbury Street in Boston's [[Back Bay, Boston|Back Bay]]. It was founded as the '''Newbury School of Business''' by entrepreneur and educator Edward J. Tassinari.<ref name=atlantic/> Tassinari's goal in establishing this institution was to help supply local Boston businesses with competent and educated employees.((Citation needed|date=January 2023))

In the 1960s as the college began to expand, it acquired dormitories on [[Commonwealth Avenue (Boston)|Commonwealth Avenue]]. In 1968, the Newbury School of Business relocated to Boylston Street, at the former location of [[Bentley College]]. Shortly thereafter, in 1971, the school changed its status from a school of business to a junior college. It then began granting associate degrees and officially changed its name to '''Newbury Junior College'''.

As the Junior College continued to grow, it began to acquire other schools throughout the Greater Boston area, including Holliston Junior College, [[Grahm Junior College]], and the Boston branch of [[Bryant & Stratton College]], which Newbury acquired in 1975.

In 1973, the school became one of the first colleges in the region to establish satellite campuses. At one point in the 1990s, the college had a total of 15 campus extension sites, located in [[Arlington, Massachusetts|Arlington]], [[Attleboro, Massachusetts|Attleboro]], Boston, [[Braintree, Massachusetts|Braintree]]/[[Weymouth, Massachusetts|Weymouth]], [[Brookline, Massachusetts|Brookline]], [[Dorchester, Boston|Dorchester]], [[Framingham, Massachusetts|Framingham]], [[Hopedale, Massachusetts|Hopedale]]/[[Milford, Massachusetts|Milford]], [[Lowell, Massachusetts|Lowell]], [[Lynn, Massachusetts|Lynn]], [[New Bedford, Massachusetts|New Bedford]], [[Norwood, Massachusetts|Norwood]], [[Revere, Massachusetts|Revere]], [[Taunton, Massachusetts|Taunton]], and [[Wakefield, Massachusetts|Wakefield]].

In 1982, the college purchased and began relocating to the former campus of [[Cardinal Cushing College]] in Brookline. As the college acquired buildings in the surrounding area, the satellite campuses began to close, consolidating into the main campus. The school changed its name to Newbury College in 1985, and in 1994, it became a [[baccalaureate college]], offering both associate and bachelor degrees on its Brookline campus.

In the fall of 2015, Newbury renovated the college's library into a 16,000-square-foot "Student Success Center," the campus' first major construction project in more than 20 years.((Citation needed|date=January 2023))

In December 2018, the college announced it would close at the end of the spring 2019 semester, following several years of declining enrollment.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/12/14/newbury-college-shut-down-spring/s2w8WjwpFXAqUsyNUsjixM/story.html|title=Newbury College to shut down in the spring|work=The Boston Globe|date=December 14, 2018|access-date=December 14, 2018))</ref>

== Campus ==
Newbury was situated ((convert|3.5|mi|km)) from [[downtown Boston]] in the [[Fisher Hill Historic District|Fisher Hill]] neighborhood of [[Brookline, Massachusetts]]. The ((convert|10|acre|ha|adj=on)) campus consisted of eight buildings, many of which were formerly private residences. As of 2024, a retirement community is being built on the former site of the campus.

== Academics ==
Newbury was a [[liberal arts college]]<ref name="krantz0331"/> accredited by the Commission on Institution of Higher Education (CIHE) of the [[New England Association of Schools and Colleges]] (NEASC), and subsequently by the [[New England Commission of Higher Education]] (NECHE).

At the time of its closure, it offered 20 [[bachelor's degree]]s and consisted of four schools: The School of Arts & Sciences, The Roger A. Saunders School of Business & Hospitality Management, The School of Applied Science & Human Services, and the School of Professional Studies.<ref name="degrees">((Cite web |title=Academic Programs |website=Newbury College |url=https://newbury.edu/academics/academic-programs/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181219202058/https://newbury.edu/academics/academic-programs/ |archive-date=December 19, 2018))</ref>

==Enrollment and endowment==
Newbury had 5,384 enrolled students in 1996; that number fell to 751 in 2016, making a decrease in enrollment of over 86 percent in two decades.<ref name="krantz0331"/> This decline was due to the closing of the 15 extension sites, eliminating certificate programs, and concentrating on a baccalaureate degree program, with fewer [[associate's degree]]s.((Citation needed|date=January 2023)) Newbury responded by focusing on "practical" majors, such as hospitality, criminal justice, and business. The college also partnered with [[Regis College (Massachusetts)|Regis College]] in [[Weston, Massachusetts|Weston]], allowing students to start a [[master's degree]] at Regis during their senior year at Newbury.<ref name="krantz0331">((cite news |last=Krantz |first=Laura |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/03/31/for-small-private-colleges-fewer-students-means-more-worries/1jjd8ZFusBt3kGjHOcpIqM/story.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812131232/https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/03/31/for-small-private-colleges-fewer-students-means-more-worries/1jjd8ZFusBt3kGjHOcpIqM/story.html |archive-date=August 12, 2022 |title=For small, private colleges, fewer students means more worries |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=March 31, 2018 |access-date=March 31, 2018))</ref>

As of 2018, [[tuition]] at Newbury was $33,000 per year, and [[room and board]] was approximately $15,000, but the college offered discounted tuition on a case-by-case basis. The average discount at the college was 52 percent. At the time, Newbury had an [[Financial endowment|endowment]] of $2 million, "tiny even for a school its size."<ref name="krantz0331"/>

During the summer of 2018, the college was placed on probation by its accreditor, the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education at the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, over concerns about its finances.<ref name="krantz0820"/>

== Athletics ==
Newbury College was a member of [[Division III (NCAA)|Division III]] of the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA).<ref name=atlantic/> The Newbury Nighthawks’ 16 athletic programs competed in nine NCAA-sponsored sports including baseball, basketball, cross country, soccer, track & field, softball, lacrosse, and volleyball.

The men's volleyball team won three Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England North titles and three national rankings in the 2000s. In 2008, the men's volleyball program was ranked sixth nationally, with a 33–10 record, and finished second in the Northeast Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) Championship Tournament.

The men's basketball team won an ECAC Division III New England title in 2007–08 with a 21–9 record, while the Newbury baseball team earned a trip to the ECAC tournament with 23–22 record in 2012.

The 2014–15 softball team ranked second for the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Academic Team Award. The 2015–16 team ranked first for this award, holding a higher ((abbr|GPA|grade point average)) than all other NCAA Division I, II, and III teams. The 2016–17 team again ranked first for this award in Division III.
