Kansas-based career college announces closure

(OVERLAND PARK, Kan., AP) — Kansas-based Wright Career College says it has closed its campuses in Overland Park and Wichita.

WDAF-TV reports that the college said in an email to students Thursday night that “with our deepest regret” it no longer is able to continue operations, and that other schools will accept credits accumulated.

The college based in Overland Park had roughly 3,000 students enrolled during the 2014-2015 fiscal year and in recent weeks had stopped accepting new students.

Wright Career College largely trains students for jobs as medical assistants, accountants and other business occupations. Founded in 1921 to train typists, it originally was known as Dickinson Business School.
