McAfee, the initial concept was for students to earn their tuition and board in exchange for working on college’s farm, in the electrical shop or printing plant. Today, Park University has grown to be a comprehensive master-level university and is one of the top providers of education courses for the United States military. Park University operates 40 campuses around the U.S. and offers several courses and programs online.<\/p>\n
