'[[Image:Harvard University Old Hall.jpg|thumb|right|Massachusetts Hall at [[Harvard University]]|alt=A building at Harvard University]] In the [[Commonwealth of Massachusetts]], there are more than 100 institutions of higher education, including [[Doctoral university|doctoral]] and [[Research university|research universities]], [[baccalaureate college]]s, [[associate's college]]s, [[master's degree]]-granting institutions, and [[special-focus institution]]s. Some are administered by the [[University of Massachusetts]] system, the largest provider of postsecondary education in the state, and others are part of a network of 15 public [[community college]]s. Many are [[non-profit]] [[Private university|private institutions]], while others are [[for-profit]] institutions. The oldest school in the state is [[Harvard University]], a member of the [[Ivy League]] and the only Massachusetts institution founded before the [[American Revolution]]. The newest is the [[Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering]], founded in 1997. Enrollment sizes range from [[Conway School of Landscape Design]], with 19 students, to [[Boston University]], a private school that serves more than 30,000 students. Most of the colleges in Massachusetts are concentrated around [[Boston]], the state capital and largest city in Massachusetts. Many Massachusetts-based institutions of higher education have become defunct over the years. Among these, [[Bradford College (United States)|Bradford College]] operated for 197 years, from 1803 to 2000, and [[ArsDigita University]], an internet-based computer school associated with the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], operated the least amount of time in the state, from 2000 to 2001. [[Atlantic Union College]] in [[South Lancaster, Massachusetts|South Lancaster]] is the latest college to cease operating in the state when it did so in July, 2011. It was later bought out by [[Washington Adventist University]] of [[Maryland]], which plans on operating a satellite campus there. ==Open institutions== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:left;" |- !
