company overview
Apollo Group,
Inc. was founded in 1973 in response to a gradual shift in higher
education demographics from a student population dominated by youth
to one in which approximately half the students are adults and over
80 percent of whom work full-time. Apollo's founder, John Sperling,
believed -- and events proved him right -- that lifelong employment
with a single employer would be replaced by lifelong learning and
employment with a variety of employers. Lifelong learning requires
an institution dedicated solely to the education of working adults.
Today, Apollo
Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, the University of Phoenix (including
University of Phoenix Online), the Institute for Professional Development,
the College for Financial Planning, and Western International University,
has established itself as a leading provider of higher education programs
for working adults by focusing on servicing the needs of the working
adult.
Apollo Group has
enjoyed continual growth in student enrollments as well as building
a strong financial record by having more than doubled its total enrollments
and revenues between 2001 and 2005. Apollo Group, looking to continue
the growth, completed its initial public offering on December 6, 1994
with a price of $0.72 per share (adjusted for stock splits).
