California's multi-year struggle to agree on an appropriate oversight strategy for our sector of higher education finally came to an end when the Governor signed our new reauthorization legislation, AB 48. The full text of AB 48 can be found here.
The California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) is the only California State Association representing the many diverse kinds of Private Postsecondary Schools in California, including for-profit, non-profit, religious exempt and registered, Nationally or Regionally accredited or approved-only. Since 1985 CAPPS has worked with California Governors, the State Legislature, other elected officials and numerous regulatory agencies that provide oversight to the sector.
