Altierus Career Collage

What Altierus Career Collage does

Altierus Career College was a private, for-profit career training network that offered short-term vocational programs in fields such as healthcare, business, and skilled trades. Founded in 2001 (operating under the Altierus name from 2015 onward), the institution was owned by ECMC Education, Inc. (formerly Zenith Education Group) and at its peak operated campuses across 24 U.S. states, with concentrations in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Its customer base consisted of adult learners pursuing career-oriented credentials.

As of 2024, all Altierus Career College campuses have permanently closed, and ECMC Education has ceased operations. The altierus.edu website is maintained solely as a closed-institution records portal, providing former students with links to state regulatory agencies and successor custodians for transcript and catalog requests. The portal also covers records for predecessor brands acquired by ECMC Group, including Everest College, Everest University, Everest Institute, WyoTech, Bryman College, Phillips Junior College, and National Institute of Technology.

The business model — tuition-funded career education under a multi-campus licensed institution framework — is no longer active. There are no current products, services, pricing, or revenue streams. The corporate entity exists only to discharge records-custody obligations inherited from ECMC Education's wind-down.
