Abstract

Private higher education institutions in some countries are part of tradition, but in some are recent phenomenon created in response to the increased demand for higher education. In Croatia, it is the latter. This work is an attempt to research the current state of private higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia, the positive and negative contributions that they have on the higher education system, but also on the whole society. The objective of this work is to explore the theme of the Private Higher Education Institutions that was not researched enough and the Croatian public is vaguely aware of it. Studying the information available on the private higher education institutions I have been observed deficiencies. These deficiencies are the most common reason that the private higher education in the Republic of Croatia is at the bottom of the higher education system. Elite private colleges are exception. Nevertheless, the privatization of education has enabled the acceptance of excess student population, and the creation of tertiary educated people contributes the development of Croatian society.
