EDMC schools are considered "degree mills" if you stick around to complete the program. 75% of students don't graduate because they drop out. They either see the scam and jump ship or realize they can watch the same YouTube tutorials being taught at these fake schools at home for free!

I didn't have a problem finding work in my field with an Argosy degree but I graduated from a traditional university most people have heard of as an undergrad and had a solid career before Argosy. I believe you sell yourself no matter where you went to university, but at the same time, don't deny there is most likely a bias if all you have on your resume is a degree from a college like UOP. In the case of Argosy 75% of those who enroll don't graduate, so the ones who do have a demonstrated ability to succeed in that environment at least. If it were genuinely a degree mill everyone would graduate. My advice is to take what you have and try and figure out what you can do with it instead of focusing on what you cant. Whatever the limitations are, you will get farther that way.
B.S.... you mean they're searching Craigslist to find a irrelevant jobs and your claiming that it's industry relevant.
Our school is placing students into great jobs all the time. I see it on a daily basis... maybe your portfolio needs more work! Stop blaming others and take on your own accountability
"this hogwash...maybe you were the problem"
Yeah! Victim blaming at its finest! Because EDMC wasn't sued for fraudulent enrollment tactics or false success stats or anything...right!?
"Gee, officer! If she wasn't wearing those short shorts, perhaps I wouldn't have raped her! It's her fault!"

Not necessarily true of Argosy. Maybe AI, but I got great jobs from my Argosy degree.
Did the recruiter also ask you for your degree because he ran out of toilet paper?
That is assuming art institutes taught enough talent to create a sellable portfolio which in 99% of cases its not.
This has been going on for years. Employers have blacklisted Art Institutes alumni calling the schools "for-profit degree factories". They don't consider them real schools. I would remove it entirely from my resume and let your portfolio sell your talent.
