History
editIn 2011, the Ross Medical Education Center in Sylvania, Ohio, changed its name to Ross College. Ross College Online was created to offer associate degree programs. In 2011, Ross also became an investment of JLL Partners.[4]
In March 2012, Ross launched its Pharmacy Technician program in seven campuses.[5]
On June 1, 2012, the name was officially changed to Ross Medical Education Center.
Today, Ross provides Medical Insurance Billing and Office Administration and Medical Assistant training in over 30 communities throughout Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, Iowa, and West Virginia. At several of the campus locations, the Dental Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Veterinary Assistant programs are also offered.
In February 2021, Ross converted from a for-profit college to a Michigan nonstock nonprofit corporation and was classified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity. The United States Department of Education has not yet made a determination as to Ross' status as a nonprofit institution for the purpose of its participation in the Title IV federal student aid programs.
