Everest College is a system of colleges in the United States. It was until 2015 a system of for-profit colleges in the United States and the Canadian province of Ontario, owned and operated by Corinthian Colleges, Inc. In 2015, Corinthian ceased operating and filed for bankruptcy. While a number of Corinthian-owned colleges were closed in early 2015, Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC), a non-profit, took ownership of more than half of Corinthian Colleges' campuses, including many Everest College campuses. As of 2015, 45 ECMC-owned Everest locations remain in operation.〔http://www.everest.edu/locations/complete_list/〕 The Canadian branches were not purchased by ECMC and remain closed. ==History== In 2007, Corinthian Colleges consolidated a number of schools under the Everest brand name. Former schools that became Everest Colleges include: Bryman College, Ashmead College, Mountain West College, Olympia College, Kee Business College, Parks College, Western Business College, Blair College and Springfield College. In December 2007, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (CCi) re-branded their Ontario campuses as Everest College and sold the remaining campus locations across Canada to the Eminata Group.〔(CCI sells campuses to Eminata Group ) News Release Dec. 14, 2007〕 In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a Corinthian Everest campus was financed with $11 million in city bonds, 25% of students found jobs and over half dropped out; the campus closed in 2012, two years after it opened.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cashing in on Kids: 139 ALEC Bills in 2013 Promote a Private, For-Profit Education Model )〕 The diplomas issued by Everest College were described as worthless, the reputation tainted. The Ontario government stepped in and shut down 14 Everest College of Business, Health Care and Technology campus locations owned by Corinthian Colleges on February 19, 2015. The next day, Everest College in Ontario, Canada declared bankruptcy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/everest-college-files-for-bankruptcy-as-other-schools-offer-help-1.2965569 )〕 In February 2015, Educational Credit Management Corporation's subsidiary Zenith Education Group acquired 56 ''Everest College'' and WyoTech campuses from Corinthian.〔https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/02/04/guaranty-agency-buys-half-corinthian-colleges-and-forgives-480-million-student-debt〕 Zenith planned to transition the schools from for-profit to nonprofit status. It also planned to eliminate some programs with poor completion and job placement rates. Everest campuses not acquired by ECMC closed their doors for good when Corinthian Colleges shuttered all of their remaining campuses on April 27, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everest College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
