U. of Phoenix Picks New Jersey for Its First Foray in Eastern U.S.

Selingo, Jeffrey

Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n9 pA28-A30 Oct 23 1998

Many colleges in New Jersey are opposed to the for-profit University of Phoenix plan to offer six degree programs within that state. The university currently enrolls 50,000 on 87 campuses in 13 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico and has formally applied for licensing in this and three other northeastern states. Thirteen colleges operate within a 20-mile radius of the proposed location. (MSE)
