Proposed Rules Take Second Stab At Holding For-Profit Colleges Accountable For Graduate’s Success

The Department of Education is making a second attempt to rein in those for-profit collegesthat benefit from financial aid to students without providing them the education needed to find gainful employment after graduation. But some consumer advocates say the proposed regulations don’t do enough to help students.

The proposed regulations [PDF] set standards for career colleges – those schools that offer specialized training programs in recognized occupations – to do a better job of preparing students for gainful employment, or risk losing access to taxpayer-funded federal student aid.

When you graduate from one of those for profit colleges, you are no better off. Most large corporations don't recognize a non accredited college.

I don't know of any non profit or not for profit schools. If they claim this they are telling a fib or a lie.
It don't take any smarts for someone to fool the government now a days.
