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:
“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”
—Wilfred M. McClay, educator, author. The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America, p. 4, University of North Carolina Press (1994)
