    I just graduated from another for-profit university, to wit: American Military University's MPA program. It was good and it was challenging. Some classes were really difficult, due to their quantitative questions, like PADM 612 (public finance), while other classes were difficult due to the sheer volume of paper writing that was required. I didn't have any super easy classes.

    I now have the following:
    Doctorate: for-profit
    Masters: for-profit
    Masters: state university (the school is funded with taxpayer dollars to keep it solvent)
    Bachelors: private non-profit
    Associates: state college (the school is funded with taxpayer dollars to keep it solvent)

    My last degree may be a Masters in Theology from a private non-profit religious university, contingent on future variables.

    I've long though AMU/APU was pretty much the cream of the crop in "for profit" education. Congratulations!

    And I know it's not an NA school but did you meet any strippers in the admissions office? :)

    APUS doesn't have a physical admissions office. LOL. Maybe they can recruit using webcam "models."

    Congratulations! I am pretty sure most "non-profit" universities make a handsome profit with all these shiny online MBA, nursing, and education degrees...;)

    Are you seriously going to equate the ridiculous actions of one garbage school to all NA schools now? At what point did people start going this low here? Smh.

    My for-profit experience

    Tuition for the MPA at American Military University was $325 per credit and they accepted 15 transfer credits ($4875.00) towards the degree, so I only had to complete 7 classes or 21 credits ($6825.00) to be awarded an MPA degree.

    But, it's still from a "for profit" university. I don't understand it.

    It's unclear -- what do you not understand?

    He is probably being sarcastic or facetious in that all for-profits have been incorrectly demonized.

    Agree, there is nothing wrong with many of the for-profit schools.

    Did I miss something? Which NA school is being referenced here and what did they do?
