Corinthian Colleges, Inc. is a young and dynamic organization that has quickly grown to become one of North America's largest post secondary education companies. CCi operates more than 100 campuses across the continent as well as a rapidly growing online education division. In fact, this position has been created due to our ongoing growth.
