Closure
In the fall of 2006, Career Education Corporation announced that the entire Gibbs College division was being put up for sale. Over the next year, no buyer could be found, so on Thursday, February 14, 2008, Career Education Corporation announced that it would convert two of the nine campuses in the Gibbs division (Vienna, Virginia and Melville, New York) to its Sanford-Brown College brand and "teach out" the remaining seven schools in the division. Those seven campuses were scheduled to close in December 2009. The decision resulted in the cancellation of all new enrollments and a massive reduction in workforce. Students are still being admitted into the Melville, New York campus which has been reflagged as Sanford Brown.
