Everest College is a system of for profit colleges in the United States and the Canadian province of Ontario. The schools are owned and operated by Corinthian Colleges, Inc. which also owns Everest University and Everest Institute. They offer education programs in fields such as accounting, business, criminal justice, health care, and paralegal studies.

Accreditation for Everest College varies by country, state and region. Everest College campuses that are regionally accredited are Everest College Phoenix, Everest College Mesa and online courses taught through Everest College Phoenix. All other Everest College campuses are nationally accredited . As a rule, credits from nationally accredited educational institutions are not transferable to other colleges and universities; however whether or not credits will be transferred is always at the discretion of the the receiving institution, regardless of accreditation type.
In July 2007, the California Attorney General threatened to file suit against Corinthian Colleges, corporate parent of Everest College, unless it settled allegations that it has misrepresented its placement statistics. According to a case filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Corinthian Colleges allegedly "engaged in a persistent pattern of unlawful conduct" by overstating the percentage of those who obtained employment from its courses, inflated information on starting salaries and made misleading or false statements about which programs it was authorized to offer and which were approved by the California Department of Education. The suit stated that Corinthian's "own records show that a substantial percentage of students do not complete the programs and, of those who complete the program, a large majority do not successfully obtain employment within six months after completing the course." In late July, Corinthian Colleges agreed to pay $6.5 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the chain engaged in unlawful business practices by exaggerating its record of placing students in well-paying jobs; the amount included $5.8 million in restitution to students as well as $500,000 in civil damages and $200,000 in court costs.
two employees of Everest College, Corinthian's San Francisco campus, have claimed in a pending whistleblower lawsuit that the company broke federal financial aid rules by giving incentive pay to recruiters based on how many recruits they brought in. In August, 13 Corinthian students in Texas filed a lawsuit alleging their teachers "were either unqualified to teach in their ... fields, or simply uninterested in teaching." These were just the latest in a nationwide flood: According to Courthouse News Service, more than 80 such lawsuits have been filed against Corinthian since 2005.
Recent years, however, have seen a steady erosion of rules designed to prevent for-profit schools from defrauding students and taxpayers. The industry's ability to subsist on federal funds — $16 billion in aid went to these schools in the 2007-2008 academic year, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education — is the result of a vigorous decades-long lobbying effort to rewrite student and taxpayer protections.
In 2002, Sally Stroup, the top lobbyist for the University of Phoenix, was made the Department of Education's assistant secretary for post-secondary education. During her tenure, which ended in 2006, the Department of Education softened rules that prevented these schools from obtaining more than 90 percent of their income from federal aid. Under Stroup, the feds also reduced the level of scrutiny they were required to receive from accreditation agencies. In 2008, Corinthian spent $1.3 million on lobbying, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, while its political action committee donated more than $60,000 to candidates."In general, we continue to view the political and regulatory environment as favorable for our company," said Corinthian executive chairman Jack Massimino during the Aug. 25 conference call. "There's every indication that we're at the table as full participants in the legislative and regulatory process, and that we have ample opportunity to make our views known."
He added, "There is nothing to suggest that the department's regulatory agenda is designed to put any particular type of school or sector at a disadvantage."
That's an extraordinary thing for a Corinthian executive to say, given that the stimulus package was supposed to be subject to rigorous accountability and oversight. It's not as though government isn't aware of for-profit schools' problems. In August, the Government Accountability Office issued a report saying the Department of Education's regulation was so lax as to "place students and federal funds at risk of potential fraud and abuse."
