Perdoceo Education Corp runs online career-focused colleges that help adults earn undergraduate and graduate degrees. Its main schools are Colorado Technical University and the American InterContinental University system, which offer programs in business, technology, healthcare, criminal justice, and other job-oriented fields. The company sells access to these education programs and the related student services needed to keep learners enrolled and moving toward a degree.

Its main customers are working adults, career changers, military-affiliated students, and other people who want a flexible online path to a credential. Perdoceo makes money mainly from tuition and related student fees paid by or on behalf of those students. Because it is an education company, its business depends less on physical campuses and more on online course delivery, enrollment management, and student support.

What makes Perdoceo’s role different is that it sits at the intersection of education and workforce training. It is not a broad university system with large campuses; it focuses on online, adult-serving programs that are designed to be practical and career oriented. That gives it a narrower but more specialized place in higher education, where convenience, scheduling flexibility, and job-relevant programs matter most.
