Covering the business of education and training

The University of Phoenix has $2 billion in annual revenue and 300,000 students worldwide. They also have my wife and me in training as I write this to prepare for an onslaught of more students.

Those new students will NOT be coming from Intel Corp. however.

Intel Corp. has decided to NOT let its customers benefit from its tuition reimbursement program if they take classes online with University of Phoenix.

Intel is raising its standards in its tuition reimbursement program. Students must study at colleges with regional and specialized accreditation. University of Phoenix has only regional accreditation.

Presently, there are about 600 Intel employees enrolled.

Something tells me that the University of Phoenix will be able to lose 600 of its 300,000+ students and survive.

Intel employees, meanwhile, will have to shop elsewhere for convenience and flexibility in their education.

What do you think?
