Career School and On-Line College Fraud Attorneys
There was a time when we trusted our doctors, employers and even politicians. One industry most people still trust implicitly is education. Unfortunately, we are learning that for-profit schools are also susceptible to committing fraud and providing misinformation to students.
When educational fraud occurs, students can encounter costly problems regarding employment opportunities, licensure and the ability to transfer credits to another educational program.
Do you suspect that your for-profit school misled you about job opportunities, licensure or the opportunity to continue your education? Contact the education and college fraud lawyers of the Law Office of Julie Johnson at (214) 290-8001 .
For-profit trade schools, career schools and on-line schools often employ salespeople that work on commission. These salespeople are as susceptible to temptations of fraud and misrepresentation as are salespeople in other industries. They can provide incorrect information regarding key factors students consider when choosing a school and career path. For instance:
- Were you told your school was accredited, but now find you are unable to transfer your credits to another school? Private schools can mislead students who later find that their credits are worthless at other schools.
- Were you told that a large percent of students completing your program find jobs in their fields? Schools can greatly and illegally exaggerate employment opportunities for graduates.
- Did you complete a program at a for-profit school, only to find that the licensing board in your field does not recognize your degree? Schools sometimes misrepresent licensing opportunities for graduates.
