Perdoceo Education Corporation

A for-profit educator running three accredited universities—Colorado Technical University, American InterContinental University System, and the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences—that grant degrees from associate to doctoral level, mostly online to working adults studying business, technology, and health. It grew out of Career Education Corporation, founded in 1994 by John M. Larson, which rebranded as Perdoceo in 2020. The new name is Latin for "to teach thoroughly," a nod to its founding spirit.
