1987 The school received approval to offer associate's and bachelor's degrees from ACCSCT and BPPVE.

In 2010 EDMC contested a qui tam suit under the False Claims Act alleging fraudulently obtained student loans and other Federal financial aid. The lawsuit filed by a former employee accuses EDMC and South University of aggressive recruiting tactics and tying recruiter compensation to new student enrollments. EDMC contends the suit is without merit.

On September 30, 2010, then employee, Kathleen A. Bittel testified before a U.S. Senate committee after accusing EDMC in writing of falsifying job placement numbers to prospective students.

In 2011, the California attorney general's office filed a Notice of Intervention alleging that Argosy University and Art Institute of California campuses were offered $16 million in Cal Grant awards in the 2007-08 naming Western State University College of Law - EDMC in Fullerton.The U.S. Justice Department and the attorneys general of California, Illinois, Florida and Indiana intervened in another lawsuit alleging EDMC broke a 1992 law prohibiting for-profit colleges from paying recruiters incentive compensation and repeatedly made false statements to conceal its practices to receive $11 billion in federal and state financial aid â€" nearly all of the company's revenue.

In April 2012 a class action suit against The Art Institutes of California alleged recruiters and academic advisers mislead students into thinking that government loans can cover the cost of tuition at the for-profit college, then leaves them without a degree and saddled with debt.
