簡單地說美國的營利性大學是公司，大學公司主要由投資人運營，全部是私立性質(zhì)，辦學的目的是為了營利。
到這類所謂美國大學讀書，基本上是花錢買文憑，買比野雞好點的家雞文憑。
營利性大學很多是上市公司，(所以上市不一定就是好事)
如CareerEducation Corp，納斯達克：CECO，
The Education ManagementCorp。
納斯達克：EDMC
據(jù)華爾街日報(5月7日)，這兩個大學公司幾個月前關閉了超過12所學校，而且未來即將關閉30所。
據(jù)美國教育部，目前美國有近11%的學生所受的高等教育來源于營利性機構，但學生的貸款壞債率高達44%。
美國是一個包容性強的社會，包括一些糟粕大學曾當作新事物風行一時，實踐證明，美國大學公司問題多多，這類學校特別不適合國內(nèi)學生到美國就讀。問題是這類營利性學校和某些國內(nèi)中介機構密切配合，非常具有欺騙性，不熟悉美國大學的家長很難準確判斷那些大學屬于這類營利性大學，對于我來說則簡單的很，如果需要幫助可發(fā)email：whartonpapa@gmail.com
美國大學招生協(xié)會特別提醒學生及家長，如果選擇了營利性大學，在決定前最好問清楚以下問題：
How many credits aretransferable to other schools?
What is theschool’sgraduation rate in the program you are looking at?
Does the school accepttransfer credits?
How many courses do youneed to take to graduate?
What is thestudent-faculty ratio?
How much money does theschool spend on education materials versus recruitment andmarketing?
What is the total costof admission, tuition, books and other fees?
What isthe
average amount ofstudent loans students graduate with?
Does the school have ajob-placement program?
