 PROFILE
Even the sun god needs a college degree these days. Apollo Group is a for-profit education company that provides programs tailored to working adults. Its University of Phoenix, with more than 80,000 students at about 70 learning centers and 30 campuses, is the US's largest private university. University of Phoenix Online, which Apollo spun off as a tracking stock in 2000, offers courses over the Internet to more than 16,000 students. Apollo also runs Western International University, the College for Financial Planning, and the Institute for Professional Development. CEO John Sperling and his son Peter (SVP) together own about 35% of Apollo, but control nearly all of its voting stock.
