History

Argosy University is owned by Education Management Corporation and was formed in September 2001 from the merger of the American School of Professional Psychology, the University of Sarasota, and the Medical Institute of Minnesota. The American School of Professional Psychology was founded in the early 1970s by a group of psychologists, educators, and other professionals who called for a clinical psychology degree that emphasized teaching and practical training over the research-oriented approach of the traditional PhD degree. The University of Sarasota had for more than 30 years offered degree programs in business and education to working adults through a delivery format that mixed distance learning and brief, intensive on-campus study periods. The Medical Institute of Minnesota was established in 1961 to prepare allied healthcare personnel for careers in the booming medical technology fields. Argosy University is regionally accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

Best Answer

It's regionally accredited, which is the highest level and will be accepted by employers, but not a top ranked school by any means.

I haven't attended Argosy but I have a friend who is going to through their PsyD. program in Minneapolis. She has nothing but good things about the program with the exception that they aren't very good about setting up internship sites. I'm not sure if that helps considering Argosy has multiple programs and multiple locations.
