The California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education has ordered the Institute of Medical Education to close its two campuses, in San Jose and Oakland. The college, which offered training for various medical vocations—such as dental hygienists, licensed vocational nurses, and ultrasound technicians—is unaccredited and in financial risk of failing, the bureau ruled on Wednesday. The college’s Web site says it is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. But the commission has not been a federally recognized accreditor since 2010, meaning the institutions it approves cannot receive federal student aid.
