Connecticut Private Occupational Schools

The Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences

6/29/2009 The Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences:  Notice of Closure

The Bloomfield-based Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences notified the Connecticut Department of Higher Education on June 3, 2009 of its intentions to close.  The school is approved by the Department of Higher Education to operate until its Certificate of Authorization expires on August 25, 2009.

The Department of Higher Education has informed the school of state requirements governing the closure of private occupational schools, and that the school can no longer accept new students. The Department is working with the school to assure full compliance with state procedures which require that schools planning to close either "teach-out" current students so they may complete their program, or make refunds to students based on the school's refund policy published in its catalog and in the enrollment agreement signed by students.
