The Phoenix New Times reports that the for-profit University of Phoenix will phase out on-campus enrollment and teaching at around 20 locations, according to employees and internal discussions. The locations in question include full-fledged campuses in Detroit, Tucson, El Paso, and Albuquerque, along with smaller learning centers in San Bernardino and Woodlands, Texas.
The list assembled by reporter Joseph Flaherty include:
- Colorado (ALL)
- Florida (ALL)
- Michigan (ALL)
- New Mexico (ALL)
- Utah (ALL)
- Augusta, GA
- Chula Vista, CA
- Columbus, GA
- Costa Mesa, CA
- El Paso, TX
- Honolulu, HI
- Oakland, CA
- San Bernardino, CA
- Tucson, AZ
- Virginia Beach, VA
- Washington, DC
- Woodlands, TX
These closures come after a February 2017 announcement of the elimination of up to 170 full-time faculty members. That announcement was made two weeks after the University of Phoenix was part of a $1.1Billion sale of the Apollo Education Group – taking the enterprise private.
