Boston Globe: Q&A with head of U. of Phoenix

Bill Pepicello was recently appointed president of the University of Phoenix, the largest accredited private university in the country. Owned by Apollo Group, Inc. — a Phoenix-based public company — the for-profit chain of schools enrolls just under 300,000 students and operates in 39 states and online.

The Associated Press sat down with Pepicello while he was in Boston this week to talk about the university’s mission, plans and the landscape of for-profit higher education. His responses are excerpted.
