<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Hoffman Estates, Ill. (June&nbsp;29, 2005) &#150; Career Education
Corporation (Nasdaq: CECO) today provided a regulatory and legal update, which
includes a notification from the U.S. Department of Education and two court
victories.&#160; The recent victories are a
federal court&#146;s dismissal of a qui tam court proceeding against the company,
and a state court&#146;s refusal to certify a class action suit against the company&#146;s
American InterContinental University (AIU) online campus.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The U.S. Department of Education is reviewing the company&#146;s previously
announced restated consolidated financial statements and annual compliance
audit opinions for the years 2000 through 2003.&#160;
The Department also is looking at pending program reviews that have
taken place at at least three of the company&#146;s institutions.&#160;&#160; The Department has indicated that until
these matters are addressed to its satisfaction, the Department will not
approve any new applications by the company for pre-acquisition review or
change of ownership.&#160; The Department
further advised the company that during this period it will not approve
applications for additional locations.&#160;
However, the Department confirmed that it will not delay its
certification of the company&#146;s previously submitted applications for additional
locations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Career Education is committed to fully cooperating with the Department&#146;s
review.&#160; The company already has supplied
data to the Department demonstrating its compliance with the Department&#146;s &#147;financial
responsibility composite ratios&#148; for its 2000 through 2003 restated financial</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">statements.&#160; According to federal guidelines, the minimum
acceptable financial responsibility composite ratio is 1.5 and the maximum is
3.0.&#160; Career Education&#146;s restated ratios
for the years ended, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were 2.4, 2.4, 2.2 and 2.8,
respectively, and CEC&#146;s score for 2004 was 2.8.&#160;
All of these scores exceed 1.5, which is the threshold for demonstrating
financial responsibility according to the Department&#146;s standards, and reflect
the strong financial position of the company.&#160;
Career Education looks forward to the continued opportunity to share and
discuss information with the Department.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">CEC also provided a legal update, noting that the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas has dismissed a federal qui
tam action captioned <i><font style="font-style:italic;">United States ex. rel.
Shauntee A. Payne</font></i> v. <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Whitman Education Group,&nbsp;Inc.,
et. al</font></i>.&#160; This qui tam action
had been brought against the Whitman Education Group, and several Whitman
schools prior to its acquisition by the company in July&nbsp;2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In another legal victory for the company, an Illinois state court
recently denied a plaintiffs&#146; motion for class certification in a suit filed by
former employees, case captioned <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Finnigan, et. al. v.
American InterContinental University Online</font></i>.&#160; In refusing to certify a class action against
AIU Online, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division,
ruled that the &#147;court agrees with all of the arguments made by defendant (AIU
Online) in opposing class certification&#148;.</font></p>
