Students Attending Career Education Colleges and Universities Members Graduate at a 59% Rate

7/29/2019

 
​Career Education Colleges and Universities announced today that its member institutions have achieved a 59% graduation rate! In making the announcement, CECU’s president Steve Gunderson shared that over 500 campuses produced over 52,346 graduations in 2018. “Outcomes matter,” he said. “When Members of Congress referenced a GAO Report stating that our sector had only a 22% graduation rate, I knew they were wrong.  We verified our member school’s graduation rates with U.S. Department of Education data.”

Student Feature: Unitech Training Academy

12/15/2017

 
Celest came to Unitech Training Academy looking and hoping for big changes. She and her autistic son were living in a homeless shelter in Lake Charles Louisiana. They had no home, no car, and depended on government assistance for basic necessities. She knew something had to change and that she had to step up to the plate and prove to herself and her son that she could take care of them both.
 
She enrolled in the EKG/Phlebotomy day program. She attended class Monday through Thursday from 8 am to 1 pm. Celeste not only managed to attend school daily but she took on two jobs to make ends meet. There were days where she felt like going on was impossible. That’s when her instructor would encourage and push her to keep moving forward. Celest credits her instructor for a lot of her success to this day.

A Special Calling:  Story from American National University

11/30/2017

 
Picture
In the Kentucky Appalachians, there are two special kinds of people who hold an almost revered status in the community: coal miners and veterans.  Zelma Watson, a registered nurse and home health clinical manager for Pikeville Medical Center, is entrusted with the care of these special hometown heroes through programs administered by the United Mine Workers of America and the Department of Veterans Affairs.  With 48 employees under her charge, Zelma shoulders a great deal of professional responsibility to go along with her other full-time job as a mom.

“I always wanted to continue my education and obtain my BSN,” Zelma said.  “It just seemed like every time I got ready to start it was a hassle.”  She spoke of byzantine enrollment processes at other schools she investigated, adding to the challenges of juggling work and family responsibilities.  Then a co-worker told her about American National University’s online RN-to-BSN program.
