小心美国那些花钱还没文凭的营利型大学
简单地说美国的营利性大学是公司，大学公司主要由投资人运营，全部是私立性质，办学的目的是为了营利。
到这类所谓美国大学读书，基本上是花钱买文凭，买比野鸡好点的家鸡文凭。
营利性大学很多是上市公司，(所以上市不一定就是好事)
如CareerEducation Corp，纳斯达克：CECO，
The Education ManagementCorp。
纳斯达克：EDMC
据华尔街日报(5月7日)，这两个大学公司几个月前关闭了超过12所学校，而且未来即将关闭30所。
据美国教育部，目前美国有近11%的学生所受的高等教育来源于营利性机构，但学生的贷款坏债率高达44%。

美国大学招生协会特别提醒学生及家长，如果选择了营利性大学，在决定前最好问清楚以下问题：

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?
