Compared to several years ago when for-profit enrollment was at a peak, all these experts point out, one big thing has changed. There are now a group of big nonprofit and public institutions targeting working adults with workforce-focused, on-demand learning. In other words, these companies are following the playbook laid out by for-profits, but with a better reputation — at least for now. “Southern New Hampshire. Arizona State. Western Governors’.
