For-profit education in the United States (known as for-profit college or proprietary education in some instances) refers to higher education educational institutions operated by private, profit-seeking businesses. Historically, most colleges and universities in the US have been non-profit, but for-profit institutions rapidly grew in number and size in the late twentieth century. Although supporters of for-profit higher education have argued that the profit motive encourages efficiency, the for-profit educational industry has received severe negative criticism because of its sales techniques, high costs, and poor student outcomes. In some cases operators of for-profit colleges have faced criminal charges or other legal sanctions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doonesbury Talks For-Profit Colleges - ACFP 2012 )〕 Since 2010, for-profit colleges have received greater scrutiny and negative attention from the US government, state Attorneys General, the media, and scholars.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Higher Ed Contributes to Inequality )〕 ==List of for-profit corporations and their brands== Many for-profit institutions are subsidiaries of larger companies, such as Apollo Education Group, American Public Education, Bridgepoint Education, Capella Education, Career Education Corporation, Corinthian Colleges, Devry, Education Corporation of America, Education Management Corporation, Educational Credit Management Corporation, Graham Holdings, Laureate Education, Lincoln Education, Premier Education Group, Quad Partners, Strayer Education, and Universal Technical Institute.
