The Eastern Nazarene College (ENC) was a private, Christian college in Quincy, Massachusetts. Established as a holiness college in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1900, the college moved to Rhode Island for several years. With its expansion to a four-year curriculum, it relocated to Wollaston Park in Quincy in 1919. It expanded to additional sites in Quincy and, in the late 20th century, to satellite sites across the state. Its academic programs were primarily undergraduate, with some professional graduate education offered.
In June 2024, ENC announced that it would close in May 2025.
Instead, the college were teach out plans to Gordon College, Mount Vernon Nazarene University (the institution of record), and Trevecca Nazarene University.
The campus was put on the market. As of December 2025, the college's campus has not been sold.
