Are for-profit schools ever ok?

<p>Argosy has branches at a LOT of places, including HI. </p>

<p>Here’s one thread about it:</p>

<p>[Why</a> is there a negative view towards Argosy University? - Page 6 | Psychology [Psy.D. / Ph.D.] | Student Doctor Network](<a href=“Why is there a negative view towards Argosy University? | Page 6 | Student Doctor Network”>Why is there a negative view towards Argosy University? | Page 6 | Student Doctor Network)</p>

<p>If you search Argosy and opinion on it, you can find a lot of hits. It would be important for HER to ask places she wants to consider applying to work at what THEY think of a graduate degree from that U. I have been told that some for-profit Us are considered “diploma mills” by employers and not respected by them at all. Don’t have personal information as to whether or not Argosy falls into this category but suspect that the flagship state U might get more respect that a for-profit private U.</p>

<p>It is important to find out about placements that are made by the school–where their graduates end up, what % of them get jobs IN THEIR FIELD or whatever else they want, what % complete their degrees, whether they get masters, PhDs or other degrees, % that pass tests for certification/licensing on 1st attempt etc.</p>

<p>Depending on the field, many legit Us help fund graduate study of students they want by offering research or teaching positions. This can reduce the cost of attendance significantly. These openings are highly competitive and require very good grades, recommendations and experience is helpful as well.</p>
