Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | 18. 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 is comprised of an accredited postsecondary education institution that offers a variety of academic programs. These segments are organized by key market segments and to enhance brand focus within each segment to more effectively execute our business plan. Our two reporting segments are described below.
| ☐ | Colorado Technical University (CTU) is committed to providing industry-relevant higher education to a diverse student population through innovative technology and experienced faculty, enabling the pursuit of personal and professional goals. CTU is focused on serving adult, non-traditional students seeking career advancement, as well as the employer’s needs for a well-educated workforce. The university offers academic programs in the career-oriented disciplines of business and management, nursing, healthcare management, computer science, engineering, information systems and technology, project management, cybersecurity and criminal justice. Students pursue their degrees through fully-online programs, local campuses and blended formats, which combine campus-based and online education. As of December 31, 2020, students enrolled at CTU represented approximately 58% of our total enrollments. Approximately 95% of CTU’s students are enrolled in programs offered fully online. In March 2020, CTU’s campus-based and blended-format students also began pursuing their education through CTU’s online platform as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
| ☐ | The American InterContinental University System (AIU) is committed to providing quality and accessible higher education opportunities for a diverse student population, including adult or other non-traditional learners and the military community. AIU places emphasis on the educational, professional and personal growth of each student, and pursues this aim with a commitment to institutional integrity and ethics. AIU offers academic programs in the career-oriented disciplines of business studies, information technologies, education, health sciences and criminal justice. Students pursue their degrees through fully-online programs, local campuses and blended formats, which combine campus-based and online education. AIU now also includes results of operations and student enrollments related to the Trident acquisition commencing on the March 2, 2020 date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2020, students enrolled at AIU represented approximately 42% of our total enrollments. Approximately 97% of AIU’s students are enrolled in programs offered fully online. In March 2020, AIU’s campus-based and blended-format students also began pursuing their education through AIU’s online platform as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
