<p>for example, Yale website claims that Yale is - along with Harvard, Stanford, etc - a not-for profit university. So is Georgetown as well? It seems that Georgetown</a> University lists many universities including Georgetown as non-profit. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Yes. There really are very few for-profit universities, and most of them tend to be either online outfits (University of Phoenix, DeVry, Virginia College, Argosy, etc.) or specific to some trade or technical profession (ITT Tech, culinary schools, etc.)</p>
