The “Admissions” Department at a For-Profit University
Education can open the doors to better opportunities in life. A better paying job, prestige and higher social class are all things that most people aspire to have at one point or another. However, not everyone is able to physically go to classes. Many people have career obligations, family obligations, or are simply unable to pay for the classic university experience.
The truth about online college admissions.
There’s a huge demand for higher education in this country. Online universities fill in the gaps by offering online courses to people who would otherwise be unable to attend college. These for-profit colleges tend to have questionable credentials and ridiculously low pass rates. Additionally, they have aggressive marketing and sales teams who carry out hundreds of cold calls to potential students. When we’re talking about for-profit colleges, money is their biggest motivator. These schools go to incredible lengths to sell a dream for individuals who are desperate for a degree.
Some online colleges have been known to pose as a more well-known university. They may even have “national accreditation” while lacking the more-sought-after “regional accreditation” needed to transfer credits. It’s entirely possible to think that these universities are legitimate.
Proprietary education & diploma mills.
The hard truth is that these universities are set up to exclusively funnel federal student loan or grant money. In fact, a student only needs to be enrolled for just 4 weeks for them to have access to these monies.
Proprietary education (for-profit education) is quickly becoming a cancer on society due to the deceptive practices that they employ. At the moment, there aren’t any federal laws which unambiguously prohibit these schools (often referred to as diploma mills). The fact that the United States Department of Education lacks plenary authority to regulate schools and the quality of an institution’s degree means that there’s a lot of leeway which these universities take to scam honest and hardworking students.
