"Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (CCi) was one of the largest post-secondary education companies in North America and is currently under criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in the United States. (1)
CCi's schools offered career-oriented diploma and degree programs in health care, business, criminal justice, transportation technology and maintenance, construction trades, and information technology.(2) CCi had over 100 Everest, Heald and WyoTech campuses throughout the United States and Canada, and also offered degrees exclusively online.(3)
Corinthian Colleges faces numerous investigations and lawsuits.(4) The California Attorney General states that Corinthian Colleges targets single parents who are close to the poverty level, a demographic that its internal documents describe as "composed of 'isolated,' 'impatient,' individuals with 'low self-esteem,' who have 'few people in their lives who care about them' and who are 'stuck' and 'unable to see and plan well for future,' through aggressive and persistent internet and telemarketing campaigns and through television ads on daytime shows like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich.'"(5)
On July 3, 2014 the United States (USA) Department of Education (DoE) and CCi reached an agreement for CCi to execute a controlled shut-down of 12 of its USA schools and a sale of 85 other schools with transition funding supplied by DoE and monitored by an independent monitor.(6)(7) The announcement leaves the eventual status of the Canadian schools up in the air.(6)(7)"
