Vatterott College
Vatterott College was a for-profit career training institute with programs at 16 campuses across the Midwest of the United States and online. It was operated by Vatterott Educational Centers, Inc., which was based in St. Louis and owned by the private equity firm TA Associates. The college also offered distance-learning programs, called eCompanion Courses, which allowed students to earn credits, diplomas, and degrees through online classes.
Vatterott College closed all campuses on December 17, 2018 citing a U.S. Department of Education decision to place it under heightened cash monitoring.
John C. Vatterott Sr. and Phil Sullivan opened Urban Technical Centers, Inc. in 1969 in St. Louis, Missouri. In the 1970s, the institution was renamed Vatterott & Sullivan Educational Center.
In 1984, Vatterott and Sullivan agreed to split the company. Sullivan moved to Kansas City, and Vatterott took full control of the college, which was then renamed Vatterott College. In January 1985, a Vatterott College campus opened in St. Ann, Missouri.
In 1989, the college's associate degree (specialized) granting authority was issued by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), now known as the Accrediting Commission of National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (NATTS).
In April 1991, Vatterott College expanded to the Missouri cities of Springfield, Joplin, and Independence as a result of a teach-out of students attending the former Draughon Business College, and became authorized to establish branch campuses at those locations in August. In May 1995, Vatterott College expanded to Quincy, Illinois, as a result of the acquisition of the former Quincy Technical Schools.
In June 1996, Vatterott College entered into a teach-out agreement with the Business and Banking Institute, which operated locations in Omaha, Nebraska, Des Moines, and Iowa. Programs were added and the institutions were renamed Vatterott College. The same year, an additional location of the St. Ann campus opened in Sunset Hills, Missouri. Vatterott College expanded into the following cities as a result of various teach-out agreements: St. Joseph, Missouri, in March 1995 (formerly known as the Northwest Missouri Community College); Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1997; Memphis, Tennessee, in 1999; Wichita, Kansas, in 1999; and Cleveland, Ohio in 2001. In 1997, a location was opened in Oklahoma City.
In 1998, Vatterott became the first private career college in St. Louis to offer classes online through its division Vatterott Global Online.
