New Student Enrollments Rise 89% YoY

NEW YORK, May 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 桃汁影院, Inc. (OTCBB:ASPU), a nationally accredited online postsecondary education company (Aspen University), today pre-announced that revenues for the Q4'15 Fiscal Quarter ending April 30, 2015 are projected to rise to approximately $1.54 million, which would represent an increase of over 32% year-over-year.

In Q4 FY'15, Aspen set a quarterly enrollment record with 444 new student enrollments, as compared to 235 new student enrollments in the prior year, an increase of 89% year-over-year.

Q4 FY'15 was the first full quarter since Aspen's RN to BSN program was accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), and we are pleased to report that 49% of Aspen's full-time degree seeking student body growth in the quarter was a result of the RN to BSN program. Specifically, Aspen's RN to BSN student body grew by 146 students in the quarter, equaling an increase of nearly 50 RN to BSN students per month.

Aspen's School of Nursing student body grew by 223 students in the quarter, from 1,151 to 1,374 students. That represented 75% of the growth of Aspen's full-time degree seeking student body, from 3,011 to 3,309. Aspen's School of Nursing now accounts for 42% of Aspen's full-time degree seeking student body.

The rapid growth of the RN to BSN program is a result of Aspen's innovative debtless education solution, which offers RN to BSN students the ability to pay their tuition simply by making monthly payments of $250, interest-free, over 39 months. Aspen's confidence in this new approach was such that it chose to not apply to the Department of Education to offer federal financial aid for its RN to BSN program, even though all other degree-seeking programs are currently eligible. 

"In our view, the success of the RN to BSN launch further supports Aspen's belief that working professionals will choose to pay for their college education through monthly payment plans rather than incur debt through student loans, assuming the monthly payment offered is affordable," said Chairman & CEO, Michael Mathews.
