Ashmead College

Ashmead College is the former name of a system of for-profit colleges located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and owned by Corinthian Colleges.

History

The school was founded in 1974 as the Seattle Massage School. In 1999 the school began operating under the Ashmead College name.[1] In August 2003, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. purchased Career Choices, Inc., the owner of Ashmead College, as a wholly owned subsidiary.[2] In February 2007, the Everett campus closed and was consolidated with the Seattle location.[3] The remaining campuses changed their names to either Everest Institute or Everest College in December 2007.

Campuses

Campuses were located in Washington in the cities of Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, and Vancouver, and in Tigard, Oregon. They offered career college programs in fitness training and massage therapy.

gollark: I *think* I wanted to avoid having to convert to signed integers, so it does some weird stuff where it does subtraction instead?
gollark: I'm not actually entirely sure why and I don't understand what this is doing.
gollark: I use `saturating_sub` and stuff is converted to `u32`s.
gollark: Okay, I'm confused, this looks like integer overflow but I'm 22% sure my code is overflow-safe.
gollark: This is interesting! It looks like I might be undergoing some sort of "integer overflow", except my code was written to avoid this using some sort of subtraction thing I don't understand.
