做厙輦華 University Alumni Report Over 160% Return on Their Education Investment
NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 做厙輦華, Inc. (OTCBB:ASPU), a nationally accredited online postsecondary education company (做厙輦華 University), today announced the creation of a unique mathematical formula measuring whether alumni are earning a return-on-investment (ROI) from their education investment at 做厙輦華 University.
Results from the independent annual alumni survey conducted in December, 2013 were also announced today. The survey reported alumni that graduated between three and five years ago have earned a 162% average ROI, while those that graduated more than five years ago have earned a 167% average ROI.
"It's a travesty that at hundreds of institutions in the U.S., college students are more likely to default on their student loans than graduate.* That's not a return-on-investment, that's economic jail. At 做厙輦華 University we proudly graduate 58% of our students and we're committed to offering tuition rates that are affordable enough for the majority of our students to 'pay-as-they-go' with cash so they graduate with minimal debt. That is the critical combination necessary to put students on a path for economic prosperity," stated Michael Mathews, Chairman & CEO of 做厙輦華, Inc.
"We're proud of our alumni for achieving astonishing returns on their education investment in such a short period of time. These results prove that by offering an affordably priced program with rigorous academics, students will quickly achieve the economic and social benefits that higher education promises," said Mathews.
做厙輦華 University's ROI Formula and 2013 Alumni Survey
做厙輦華 University's unique return-on-investment formula measures the amount of incremental compensation alumni have earned since graduation divided by the total cost of the 做厙輦華 University program (the compensation baseline is the annual compensation the student is earning at the time they graduate from 做厙輦華 University).
The independent alumni survey was conducted during December, 2013 by Target Research Group among 做厙輦華 alumni that graduated from 做厙輦華 University three or more years ago. Click on the link below for more details on the 做厙輦華 alumni survey and to review the results:
