Yesterday data from the government showed that student loan defaults rose sharply, with for-profit schools seeing the biggest rise.
2009 2-year official cohort default rate increased from 11.6% to 15% at for-profit schools, this versus 7.2% for public institutions (up from 6%) and 4.6% for private institutions (up from 3.4%).
Analysts at Goldman Sachs noted that in some cases the 2009 level is approaching the 25% threshold, which could put Title IV funding at risk if sustained at this level.
The firm noted that ITT Educational (NYSE: ESI) had the highest 2-year CDR at 22.5% followed by University of Phoenix (Apollo) (Nasdaq: APOL) at 18.8% and Carrington California (DeVry) (NYSE: DV) at 16.7%.
ITT Technical Institute and The Art Institute (NASDAQ: EDMC) showed the greatest degree of deterioration from 2008, increasing 10.2 pp and 7.3 pp, respectively.
