<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Hoffman Estates, IL (July&nbsp;19, 2005) &#150;
Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, owned by Career Education
Corporation (NASDAQ: CECO), has received a notice of conditional approval to
operate from the California Bureau of Private Postsecondary and Vocational
Education (BPPVE).</font></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While the institute has not had the
opportunity to fully review and respond to this notice, it is committed to
resolving any issues that may place conditions on the institute&#146;s approval to
operate.&#160; This notice only relates to
Brooks Institute of Photography and does not impact operations at any of the
company&#146;s other California schools.</font></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The BPPVE&#146;s notice provides conditional
approval to operate the institute for the next two years.&#160; This notice from the BPPVE is not considered
to be a final order and the conditions in the notice would not go into effect
unless and until an order were finalized. Brooks Institute of Photography
intends to file a request for an administrative hearing, at which the institute
will have the opportunity to present the facts.&#160;
During the pendency of this matter, Brooks Institute of Photography
intends to work closely with the Bureau to resolve any concerns.</font></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Some of the concerns raised in the BPPVE&#146;s
letter are based upon a limited number of surveys of the institute&#146;s graduates.
&#160;In fact, as the letter acknowledges,
only 14 of 121 graduates chose to respond to the Bureau&#146;s survey.</font></p>
