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:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
