[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back again:

Thanks for the information and especially the definitions.

My son is interested in a degree in computer science and the particular school he is looking at is Neumont University:

https://fortune.com/2015/04/14/neumont-university-tech-hiring/

According to the article above, 97% of the graduates are hired with average starting salaries of $63,000.

I do live in the US and have heard  news stories about for profit universities but never really paid attention to them before now.

Maybe this school is an exception to some of the negative stories?

Anyone have experiences with Neuman University ?

OP, are you entirely serious?  Computer science degrees are readily available from well-known, well-established colleges and universities, both public and private, that are fully accredited and have easily verified track records.  Think of what the value of a zero-name school would be, relative to a widely-recognized name.  Does the school about which you're asking post student loan default statistics?  Have you conducted other research?  Is the school ranked in any recognized rating publications?  Does it admit all or nearly all of its applicants?  Do you really believe the statistics you've quoted?
