For-Profit Universities in the US

For-profit universities have battled regulators and public opinion for the last decade. The Obama administration targeted schools that misled students about job prospects and expected earnings-to-debt ratios. To receive federal aid, schools had to prove that students could find meaningful employment. For-profit universities never recovered from the government scrutiny and public backlash that peaked enrollment in 2010.

The For-Profit Universities industry includes colleges and universities that offer academic courses at baccalaureate or graduate levels on a for-profit basis. A high school diploma or equivalent academic training is generally an admission requirement. Instruction may be provided in a variety of settings such as educational institutions, the workplace, the home, training facilities and through correspondence, TV, the internet or other electronic or distance-learning means.
