For Profit Schools
For profit schools are running into problems again. This time they are getting charged with massively over charging. In one case cited by the Government Accountability Office, a school was trying to charge $14,000 for a massage therapy certificate when a nearby junior college offered the same thing for $520. The for profit school was touting the $14,000 investment as a great value.
Sometimes you pay for the reputation of your school, but it is hard to imagine that being a big deal when it comes to a massage therapy certificate. Even then, I don’t know of any for profit institution that has a better reputation that a junior college when it comes to non-degree programs.
