The school closed its campuses in Tampa, Florida; Norcross, Georgia; and Houston, Texas; in 2023.^[1] The school was nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges.^[2]

History

The schools were once part of Corinthian Colleges, a now defunct large for-profit college chain that collapsed in 2015. Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC) took over the schools in 2015 under the name Zenith Education and rebranded them as Alterius Career Colleges.^[3] More than 20 Zenith campuses closed in 2017, leaving only three campuses in service. ^[4] As of April 2022, ECMC Group announced the remaining three campuses would be closing.^[5]
