For-profit universities lure students in with promises of an education.
However, it turns out most of them only deliver higher debt and
worthless degrees. A new study by the organization CALDER found that
graduates of for-profit universities have no better chance at getting an
interview than people who never even went to college.
The researchers
sent out about 9,000 fake resumes to businesses and found "little
evidence of a benefit to listing a for-profit college relative to no
college at all." Community college grads actually fared a little better
off, but the authors of the study said that the difference was too small
to draw a conclusion. However, these for-profit universities often
charge students much higher tuition, and use private funding that
excludes students from federal repayment assistance programs.
