For-Profit Colleges: Good Choice or Bane of the Education World?
#2
I stopped reading at university of phallus (thanks sanantone). AMU/APU is more the model of how a for profit should be run, u of p should be illegal. Not even remotely the same thing. The differences are many but in particular the ever important aspect of perception plays a huge role here. U of P has been embroiled in multiple controversies typically centered on fleecing students and the American taxpayer. AMU on the other hand has positioned itself as practically a service school for the military, they have a vibrant and growing alumni base and they are neither considered prestigious nor questionable, they are just considered another regionally accredited school. They are also less than half the cost of a similar UofP degree.

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.
