[Oacrao-l] Gainful Employment Regulation

[David Barron]

David,
At our OASFAA conference in April we had Kevin Campbell, Training Officer, United State Department of Education, present regarding the new regulations, including gainful employment. The rule of thumb given is that if you are a liberal arts institution and the degree you offer is a Bachelor's or Associate's degree then the gainful employment rules do not apply.  If you have a graduate certificate program, then the gainful employment rules do not apply.
If you have an undergraduate "certificate program" of study for which a student is eligible to receive title IV aid then this program would be subject to gainful employment rules.
Just because a teacher is required to be certified by the state does not mean that the institution's bachelor's degree program in education is subject to the gainful employment rules.
I hope this helps.
Thanks and have a great day,

David Barron

For those of you offering degree programs in education, are you interpreting the new regulations concerning GE to include actual degree programs in education (as they prepare one for state certification) or are you only considering programs consisting of groups of courses that serve the same purpose but not actual degree programs.

Thanks for your input!

David
