Social Practices
Our TEACH values—Teamwork, Energy, Accountability, Community and Heart—shape how we work together to fulfill our promise to our students, our members and each other.
Adtalem’s voluntary Student Commitments build upon our strong foundation of existing practices to benefit, inform and support students at all of our Title IV institutions. Because we are committed to continuous improvement and accountability, we will review our Commitments periodically, and will update and improve our practices and student protections as needed.
Student Commitments can be found here.
As part of the Student Commitments, Adtalem is dedicated to the responsible marketing of its products and services, as well as transparency and accuracy in all of its advertising messages and promotional communications. All content developed for use in the United States is governed by the Adtalem Marketing Communications Policy.
We believe there can be more than one way to impact healthcare at scale. Our model uniquely focuses on seeing potential in individuals and guiding them to success while maintaining top-tier standards and rigor. Like healthcare, our accredited institutions are deeply intersectional, with many specialties and systems coming together. We educate future professionals so they can make an impact, on themselves and their communities. See our Sustainability Report for further details.
Engagement is a part of our listening culture, which thrives on communication and collaboration. We want to understand what is working well and where we have opportunities for improvement. Through regular engagement surveys, we’re able to solicit feedback that helps us measure and track our progress. The engagement survey results are included in a semiannual talent management scorecard for each business and major corporate function, which include metrics tied to scores in our focus areas and metrics on diverse representation. Each functional leader reviews and discusses these outcomes regularly with the CEO. Select results from our recent engagement survey can be found here.
To help potential students make more informed decisions about their education options, the U.S. Department of Education has set forth disclosure guidelines. Adtalem’s Title IV institutions are proud to be an industry leader in this effort and are committed to providing transparency for our applicants on the key outcomes for our students, including graduate rates and earnings. See our Sustainability Report for key student performance indicators we use to measure program competitiveness.
Established in 2000, the Empower Scholarship Fund strives to help keep education within reach by providing financial support to qualifying current students. The selection criteria prioritizes applicants with the greatest need and who have established a successful academic record. In fiscal year 2023, a total of $301,700 in scholarship funds was awarded to 162 students. In addition, each of our degree-conferring institutions offer a variety of scholarships. While application criteria vary, the goal of each is to expand access to educational opportunities for qualifying students.
