Heald College was a regionally accredited for-profit, business-career college with multiple campuses in California, and one campus in Oregon and Hawaii. The school offered courses in the fields of healthcare, business, legal, and technology. Beginning in 2012, the school also offered full online degrees. Heald College was owned by parent company Corinthian Colleges, a for-profit education company known for its other career-college brands, Everest College and WyoTech.

Heald closed their doors for good when Corinthian Colleges shuttered all of their campuses on April 27, 2015.

Due to findings by the Department of Education of misrepresented job placement rates at certain programs of Heald College from July 2010-2015, the department has made students of these programs eligible to have their debts cancelled if they fill out the Department's online attestation form, or mail in a printable attestation form.

History

The college was founded in San Francisco, California, by Edward Payson Heald, on August 8, 1863, and known for many years as "Heald's Business College".

In 2001, it changed its name from Heald Colleges to Heald College. A few years after that, in 2007, the then non-profit institution was acquired by a private investor group and turned into a for-profit college.

In November 2009, Corinthian Colleges, Inc., purchased Heald College's parent company for $395 million, simultaneously announcing plans to begin in 2011 offering online-only courses leading to degree programs based entirely on online-only coursework. However, Corinthian planned to retain the Heald name, as well as its faculty and staff.
