State Schools Urge Students Burned By Closing For-Profit Colleges To Give Them A Chance - REBECCA MARTINEZ, WUNC

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Wake Technical Community College are two public institutions encouraging students from three for-profit colleges to consider them for transfer this fall.  South University in High Point and the Art Institutes in Durham and Charlotte will close at the end of the year. Like other for-profit colleges, those schools attracted older non-traditional students, many of whom opted not to go to college right away. UNCG Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management Bryan Terry said he understands that these students are probably frustrated, but he encouraged them not to let the school closures derail their academic pursuits. http://wunc.org/post/state-schools-urge-students-burned-closing-profit-colleges-give-them-chance
