Argosy University

Argosy University was a private, for-profit university system that operated numerous campuses across the United States before its closure in 2019. Formed in 2001 through the merger of the American Schools of Professional Psychology, the University of Sarasota, and the Medical Institute of Minnesota, the institution specialized in professional programs in psychology, behavioral sciences, business, and health sciences. It was particularly noted for its American Psychological Association (APA) accredited doctoral programs in clinical psychology. The university faced severe financial and regulatory challenges after being acquired by Dream Center Education Holdings, eventually leading to the loss of federal student aid eligibility and a total cessation of operations. Its legacy is marked by the significant impact of its abrupt closure on thousands of students and faculty members.
