Abstract
A nonprofit raises money to finance its mission. A for-profit has a mission in order to make money.' These two structures seem theoretically incompatible, but the deal between the public Purdue University and for-profit Kaplan University is testing this theory by creating a new entity, Purdue University Global. Purdue University Global, also called Purdue Global, operates as an online education arm of Purdue University. This deal is being called the first of its kind and has the potential to set a new precedent in higher education.
