What's Money Got to Do With It? The Appeal of the For-Profit Education Model

For-profit colleges have been dismissed by community college administrators and faculty as imperfect institutions that focus too heavily on skills-based training, to the detriment of a well-rounded academic experience. Although there are many appropriate criticisms of an educational model that relies on federal funding to make a profit—while enticing the lowest income group of students to take on huge debt—there may also be practices and resource efficiencies that can be exported to the community college. This paper seeks to examine what aspects of the for-profit model might be positively applied to the community college learning experience.
