An example why the Big Three are the way to go for your education.
#1
Three reasons for the big three: cost, regional accreditation, and flexibility.

ITT Tech announced today the closing of all its schools due to pressure from the federal government. They have a pending lawsuit and are accused of inflating employment graduation figures. The example I read about was the job placement rate being claimed at 80% of all graduates find jobs in the fields they graduated in, when in reality actual job placement rates was around 50%.

This is the problem with for profit schools. They inflate, manipulate numbers as they have to please investors not to mention if you look at the costs of a 2 yr degree at a for profit school, you could get a 4 yr degree from the big three for cheaper or around same cost. It is literally a no brainer.

Hardly confined to "for profit" schools....but I agree with your premise. The Big 3 are all quite good at your three markers: Cost/RA/Flexibility.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
