Your emails regarding SSB will show what campuses are at risk. We all sit here and analyze amongst ourselves what the future holds. All we need is the enrollment population for each campus to tell. This is to the shit head who decided to post what schools are closing without any evidence of where he got the data. Since I am smart and actually looked and accepted a new job offer before all you flooded to market, I took it upon myself to investigate. The person who posted the "closed" campus post...they got this info from the student population list. This person wrote closed next to each campus with a low enrollment. EDMC campuses won't close, they will teach out. This person is just trying to stir the pot! EDMC is a shitty company and people should be embarrassed to be employed by them. However, I don't think that half the company is going to wake up one day and get layed off. If you are going to post something, have some evidence to back it up. Otherwise, this site is nothing but a joke full if people that hate EDMC. Prove where you fancy little "closed" list came from. When will campuses know? If youbhave this list, then you should know when it will happen?

Colorado has 1025 students, approximately. Down from 2000 students 3 years ago. No proximity schools in the EDMC system. Also, very little regional competition. Students are dropping like crazy. Sometimes up to 300 drops per quarter.
85148 You might have wanted to do a better investigation when you looked into accepting the offer. Name calling will not change the list...it is legit...you are attempting to read the "clos"e as a piece of misinformation. Close is close or teach out. For instance, Dulles will close and those paltry students still enrolled will have to commute to the Arlington Campus to finish their program or hop online. They will get "teach out" but not at Dulles, so.....it is a "close" in that regard...polish your resume...
"Teaching out" a closing campus means pressuring every student to drop or transfer.
Lalalalalala as the stir goes
They may not know the day? When they closed our school the email stated: as of today we will no longer be accepting new students. There was no warning. This might be an IT person posting. Heck I'm a former student of a closed EDMC school.
Agree on proximity. The expansion into satellite campuses was a ridiculous waste of money in the early-mid 2000's.
To clarify my previous post... St. Louis is staying open with about 400 students if that list holds true, while colorado will be teaching out with 1200 if that list holds true
Not completely true... There are numerous campuses not listed with "closed" next to it that have extremely low enrollment.
For example, St. Louis with ~400, and Colorado with ~1200 (rumored to close based on that list)
Those are the most extreme, but here are other factors that contribute- not just total enrollment
Another pattern I noticed on some of them is proximity.
For example- keeping houston, closing houston north... Keeping Dallas, closing Fort Worth... Keeping Schaumburg and chicago, closing tinley park, etc etc
The list makes sense to with the exception of Colorado. I agree, poster (s) of the list need to clarify timeframe.
