#2"Those false credentials are all the students need to stay in the country. Many seek jobs in the tech industry, and their degrees allow them to remain working in the U.S. for years..."
This quote says more to me about the companies hiring them and about degrees from any university than it does about NPU.
If they aren't giving an education and people can still get jobs "for years" what exactly is the point of $200k education again?

Its purpose is more symbolic than realistic. Symbols are easily faked. An example of this is how Frank Abagnale was able to fake having gone to medical, law, and flight school, among many other things.

You can spend $200k and master beer pong, or you can spend $200k and learn how to make analytical / computational models of real-world problems. A lot of people split the difference. Either way, you get the same degree, and employers seem unable to differentiate. The university system has already debased the currency, so forgery doesn't bite as keenly.

The only point is getting a work permit/a legal way to stay in the US.

Higher Education in America is largely chicanery like noble titles before the French Revolution: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11756804

#9why single this school out from the rest of their peers? i.e. Phoenix.
the entire system has incentives completely mis-aligned at every level. it you look at how the subsystems of immigration, finance/loans, for-profit education, and corporate sponsorship interact, how could you expect anything other than the corrupt clusterfuck we see today?

Yeah, but Abagnale never tried to fly an airplane.
