Are you an adult learner thinking about starting or completing your degree, and also thinking about applying to a For-Profit University? Perhaps you are in charge of your company's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and see all the employees choosing the For-Profit schools over their local universities.
For-Profit universities are very popular options with adult learners. The colleges' ads appear in the newspaper, on radio and TV and any Internet Education Program search shows these schools at the top of the results. These For-Profit schools (University of Phoenix, Capella University, Strayer University, DeVry/Keller University, etc.) tout their programs as "one of the best schools", "top-rated university", "degree geared to today's workplace". Their accelerated formats, choices of online or on-campus and awarding credits for life/work experience are some of the reasons adult learners choose these colleges over their local state and private universities.
