Trade Review
A balanced description of how and why [for-profit colleges and universities] continue to attract growing enrollments, and his text will be useful for anyone who wants to understand this significant trend... The chapters about for-profit finance and academic culture are particularly insightful. Highly recommended. Library Journal Higher Ed., Inc: The Rise of the For-Profit University offers a window into, as well as a defense of, this brave new pedagogical world. -- Christopher Shea Washington Post Magazine
