What Phoenix doesn't teach us about for-profit higher education
K. Kinser. Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 38 (4):
24--29(2006)4.
Abstract
The University of Phoenix is a unique institution, and its presence has certainly influenced postsecondary education. It has played a significant role in the recognition and accreditation of institutions with campuses in many states, and its accelerated, career-oriented programs represent a real innovation in teaching working adults. From a policy perspective, its prominence has gone a long way toward legitimizing for-profit higher education in state capitals and in Congress. This author warns, however, that not all for-profit higher education possess the same qualities as the University of Phoenix, thus care should be taken to recognize the differences based on size, degree level, and ownership status. (Contains 1 table and 2 resources.)
