Attorney General Maura Healey is investigating the planned closure of Mount Ida College in Newton.
The college announced Friday that it plans to close after discussions on a possible merger with Lasell College fell through.
Under the closure plan, Mount Ida students will be able to complete their degrees at UMass-Dartmouth.
However, those with majors not offered at UMass-Dartmouth will have to change majors or choose a different school.
