Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | 12. SEGMENT REPORTING Our segments are determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280—Segment Reporting and are based upon how the Company analyzes performance and makes decisions. Each segment represents a group of postsecondary education providers that offer a variety of degree and non-degree academic programs. These segments are organized by key market segments to enhance operational alignment and, for our two universities, to enhance brand focus within each segment to more effectively execute our strategic plan. As of June 30, 2016, our four segments are: University Group:
| ¨ | Colorado Technical University (CTU) places a strong focus on providing industry-relevant degree programs to meet the needs of our students for employment and of employers for a well-educated workforce and offers academic programs in the career-oriented disciplines of business studies, information systems and technologies, criminal justice, computer science and engineering, and health sciences. Students pursue their degrees through fully-online programs through CTU Online, local campuses and blended formats, which combine campus-based and online education. As of June 30, 2016, students enrolled at CTU represented approximately 56% of our total enrollments. Approximately 92% of CTU’s enrollments are fully online.
| ¨ | American InterContinental University (AIU) focuses on helping busy professionals get the degree they need to move forward in their career as efficiently as possible and collectively offers academic programs in the career-oriented disciplines of business studies, information technologies, criminal justice and design technologies. Students pursue their degrees through fully-online programs through AIU Online, local campuses and blended formats, which combine campus-based and online education. As of June 30, 2016, students enrolled at AIU represented approximately 27% of our total enrollments. Approximately 99% of AIU’s enrollments are fully online.
Career Schools Group: Campuses included in our Career Schools segments include those which are currently being taught out or those which have completed their teach-out activities or have been sold subsequent to January 1, 2015. As a result of a change in accounting guidance, campuses which have closed or have been sold subsequent to January 1, 2015 no longer meet the criteria for discontinued operations and remain reported within continuing operations on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Campuses in teach-out employ a gradual teach-out process, enabling them to continue to operate while current students have a reasonable opportunity to complete their course of study; they no longer enroll new students.
| ¨ | Culinary Arts includes our Le Cordon Bleu institutions in North America (“LCB”) which offer hands on educational programs in the career-oriented disciplines of culinary arts and patisserie and baking in the commercial-grade kitchens of Le Cordon Bleu. LCB also provides online programs in culinary arts and hotel and restaurant management. These campuses are all expected to complete their teach-out activities during 2017. As of June 30, 2016, students enrolled at LCB represented approximately 13% of our total enrollments.
| ¨ | Transitional Group includes our non-LCB campuses which are in teach-out or those which have been closed or sold subsequent to January 1, 2015. Our Transitional Group offers academic programs primarily in the career-oriented discipline of health education complemented by certain programs in business studies and information technology, as well as fashion design, film and video production, graphic design, interior design and visual communications. The campuses within the Transitional Group that have not yet ceased operations as of June 30, 2016 will complete their teach-outs on varying dates through 2018. As of June 30, 2016, students enrolled at the Transitional Group campuses represented approximately 4% of our total enrollments. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company completed the teach-out of three Transitional Group campuses: Collins College, International Academy of Design & Technology Sacramento and Sanford-Brown Institute New York, which continue to be reported as part of the Transitional Group as of June 30, 2016.
