    Brooks Institute of Photography Summary

    Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

    The Brooks Institute of Photography is a for-profit college based in Santa Barbara, California and Ventura, California. The California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) released the results of an investigation, and announced Brooks must refund “equitable restitution” to students enrolled at the school from May of 1999 to the present and the school was given “conditional approval” to operate for the next two years with a hearing scheduled for February 2006. The hearing resulted in the judge determining that BPPVE had not complied with the mandatory provisions of the Education Code, and that it had wrongly denied Brooks Institute an opportunity to contest the Bureau’s action prior to the time it was imposed.
