From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of for-profit institutions of higher education.

In the United States

[edit]

Distance education (online)

[edit]

Outside the United States

[edit]

In India many educational trusts and institutions which have no accreditation give autonomous degrees for profit.

In Chile many universities are suspected of violating legislation that forbids profitmaking in such institutions.[5][6][7]

Closed or merged

[edit]

For-profit colleges that became non-profit colleges

[edit]

Conversions from for-profit to nonprofit are legitimate when the assets and income are fully committed to the educational purpose, and control by private interests is eliminated. Some converted nonprofits may not be legitimate.[12] A Government Accountability Office report about the problem is anticipated.[13]
