Argosy University is a for-profit university that is an association of several independently accredited institutions owned by Education Management Corporation, with 19 locations in 13 US states and online. These programs share facilities and support staff, but the faculty typically do not teach across programs. The university offers numerous programs at various levels, including certification; associates, bachelors, masters, specialist, and doctoral degrees, postdoctoral specialization, postgraduate concentrations, etc. Programs vary by campus. Accreditation is program and campus specific, so it is important to check in advance (for instance, the clinical psychology graduate program at the American School of Professional Psychology - Washington DC received full American Psychology Association accreditation, while some other campuses did not). Argosy University is associated with online learning, but many programs (especially graduate ones) are not online programs and follow traditional educational practices.

Famous quotes containing the word university:
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
