Grand Canyon University fully nonprofit

[clep3705]

Nonprofit status of Grand Canyon University officially recognized by U.S. Department of Education

This should clear up the confusion. Over the past several years, I'd read that GCU was or wasn't nonprofit. They were nonprofit according to the IRS and NCAA, but not the Department of Education.

There is a related legal entity called Grand Canyon Education and its subsidiary Orbis Education, which is an Online Program Management company similar to what Academic Partnerships was before purchasing Wiley University Services and rebranding as Risepoint. Orbis Education runs healthcare degree programs at these schools: Our Partners Span Coast to Coast - Orbis Education. Orbis even hires and pays faculty for these schools.
