2003

In 2003 EDMC acquired the health sciences-focused South University in April and 18 schools operated by the Ohio-based American Education Centers in June, which were re-branded Brown Mackie College a year later.

2011

In 2011, EDMC and its then-subsidiary, the Art Institutes, received greater public scrutiny with the release of the Frontline documentary: Educating Sergeant Pantzke.

2012

EDMC was delisted from the NASDAQ in November 2014.

2015
