    2009 NATIONAL RESEARCH REPORT National Student Satisfaction and Priorities Report Are college students satisfi ed with their educational experiences? Each year, the National Student Satisfaction and Priorities Report examines this subject, compiling data from hundreds of thousands of students attending four-year public campuses, four-year private institutions, two-year community colleges, and private two-year career schools. This report highlights some key areas, including how satisfaction levels differ by student demographic variables, how satisfaction varies by institutional choice, and whether today’s students— if they had to do it all over—would choose the campuses they currently attend.

  • Career Education Corporation ______
    Career Education Corporation ______________________________ Introduction Career Education Corporation (“CEC”) is one of the largest for-profit education companies offering many types of programs from certificate to Bachelor’s degrees. Like many for-profit education companies, in recent years CEC has experienced significant growth in student enrollment, Federal funds collected, and profit realized. At the same time, the company has been under near constant scrutiny from accreditors and law enforcement entities. Most recently, after inquiries from the New York attorney general, the company admitted that placement data for multiple campuses had been falsified. The student withdrawal rate for the Associate program is among the highest analyzed by the committee staff and the company also has unusually high rates of students defaulting on student loans. It is unclear that CEC delivers an educational product worth the rapidly growing Federal investment taxpayers and students are making in the company. Company Overview CEC is a publicly traded, for-profit education company headquartered in Schaumburg, IL. Founded in 1994 by John M. Larson, CEC grew quickly by acquiring established schools and making them profitable. The company’s initial focus was on institutions offering business studies, visual design and information technology programs. The first purchases made by CEC were the Al Collins Graphic Design School in Tempe, AZ, and Brooks College in California.1322 In 2003, CEC merged with competitor Whitman Education Group, Inc., gaining control over Sanford-Brown Colleges, Ultrasound Diagnostic Schools (now known as the Sanford-Brown Institute) and Colorado Technical Universities. Today, CEC is the fourth largest for-profit higher education company in the country and has 83 campuses located across the United States.1323 CEC schools offer Certificates as well as Associate, Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in areas including visual communication and design, culinary arts, information technology, business studies and health education.
