Business Acquisition | 3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION On December 1, 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Coding Dojo. Founded in 2013, Coding Dojo offers computer programming and general technology upskilling and reskilling development opportunities supported by its quality technology platform and in-demand courses including software development, data science and cybersecurity. Coding Dojo is reported within the CTU segment. The final purchase price of $ 62.7 million for Coding Dojo was allocated to the fair values of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets of $ 77.8 million and assumed liabilities of $ 15.1 million as of December 1, 2022. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships with a fair value of approximately $ 1.3 million and a useful life of 1 year, a trade name with a fair value of approximately $ 5.1 million and a useful life of 10 years and developed technology with a fair value of $ 6.0 million and a useful life of 5 years. Based on our final purchase price allocation, we have recorded goodwill of $ 57.0 million. Goodwill reflects the revenue growth opportunities following the acquisition. Substantially all of this goodwill balance will not be deductible for income tax reporting purposes. The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 1, 2022 (dollars in thousands): Coding Dojo Assets: December 1, 2022 Student receivables, net $ 5,171 Prepaid and other assets 408 Property, equipment and ROU assets 1,121 Intangible assets subject to amortization Trade name 5,100 Customer relationships 1,260 Developed technology 6,030 Deferred tax asset, net 1,731 Goodwill 57,027 Total assets acquired $ 77,848 Liabilities: Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities 2,664 Deferred revenue 12,451 Total liabilities assumed $ 15,115 Net assets acquired $ 62,733 Pro forma financial information relating to the Coding Dojo acquisition is not presented because the acquisition is not deemed material to the Company. |

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recent accounting guidance not yet adopted In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (" ASU ") No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions . The amendments in this ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. For all public business entities, ASU 2022-03 is effective for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance and believe the adoption will not significantly impact the presentation of our financial condition, results of operations and disclosures. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Investments consist of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands): September 30, 2023 Gross Unrealized Cost Gain (Loss) Fair Value Short-term investments (available for sale): Non-governmental debt securities $ 227,417 $ - $ ( 2,541 ) $ 224,876 Treasury and federal agencies 207,083 - ( 2,342 ) 204,741 Total short-term investments (available for sale) $ 434,500 $ - $ ( 4,883 ) $ 429,617 December 31, 2022 Gross Unrealized Cost Gain (Loss) Fair Value Short-term investments (available for sale): Municipal bonds $ 3,016 $ - $ ( 22 ) $ 2,994 Non-governmental debt securities 222,575 37 ( 2,880 ) 219,732 Treasury and federal agencies 179,068 6 ( 2,485 ) 176,589 Total short-term investments (available for sale) $ 404,659 $ 43 $ ( 5,387 ) $ 399,315 In the table above, unrealized holding gains (losses) relate to short-term investments that have been in a continuous unrealized gain (loss) position for less than one year . Our non-governmental debt securities primarily consist of corporate bonds, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. Our treasury and federal agencies primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills and federal home loan debt securities. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. As of September 30, 2023, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These investments (available for sale) consist of non-governmental debt securities and treasury and federal agencies securities. Available for sale securities included in Level 2 are estimated based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, such as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. All of our available for sale investments were measured under Level 2 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Additionally, money market funds of $ 30.8 million and $ 40.1 million included within cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were measured under Level 1. Federal agency debt securities and commercial paper of $ 11.4 million included within cash and cash equivalents on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 were measured under Level 2. Equity Method Investment Our investment in an equity affiliate, which is recorded within other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents an international investment in a private company. As of September 30, 2023, our investment in an equity affiliate equated to 30.7 %, or $ 1.0 million. During the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded approximately $ 0.1 million of loss and $ 0.2 million of loss, respectively, and during the years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded approximately $ 0.1 million of loss and $ 0.5 million of loss, respectively, related to our equity affiliate within miscellaneous (expense) income on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. We make periodic operating maintenance payments to our equity affiliate. The total fees recorded during the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands): Maintenance Fee Payments For the quarter ended September 30, 2023 $ 411 For the quarter ended September 30, 2022 $ 374 For the year to date ended September 30, 2023 $ 1,256 For the year to date ended September 30, 2022 $ 1,201 Credit Agreement On September 8, 2021, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors thereunder entered into a credit agreement with Wintrust Bank N.A. (“ Wintrust ”), in its capacities as the sole lead arranger, sole bookrunner, administrative agent and letter of credit issuer for the lenders from time to time parties thereto. The credit agreement provides the Company with the benefit of a $ 125.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The $ 125.0 million revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is scheduled to mature on September 8, 2024 . So long as no default has occurred and other conditions have been met, the Company may request an increase in the aggregate commitment in an amount not to exceed $ 50.0 million. The loans and letter of credit obligations under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors. The credit agreement and the ancillary documents executed in connection therewith contain customary affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants. The Company is required to maintain unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in domestic accounts in an amount at least equal to the aggregate loan commitments then in effect. Acquisitions to be undertaken by the Company must meet certain criteria, and the Company’s ability to make restricted payments, including payments in connection with a repurchase of shares of our common stock, is subject to an aggregate maximum of $ 100.0 million per fiscal year. Upon the occurrence of certain regulatory events or if the Company’s unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short term investments are less than 125 % of the aggregate amount of the loan commitments then in effect, the Company is required to maintain cash in a segregated, restricted account in an amount not less than the aggregate loan commitments then in effect. The credit agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any event of default thereunder, including rights to accelerate the loans, terminate the commitments and realize upon the collateral securing the obligations under the credit agreement. Under the credit agreement, outstanding principal amounts bear annual interest at a fluctuating rate equal to 1.0 % less than the administrative agent’s prime commercial rate, subject to a 3.0 % minimum rate. A higher rate may apply to late payments or if any event of default exists. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. |

(2) Other revenue primarily includes contract training revenue and miscellaneous non-student related revenue. (3) CTU includes revenue related to an acquisition completed on December 1, 2022. (4) AIUS includes revenue relat ed to an acquisition completed on July 1, 2022. Performance Obligations Our revenue, which is derived primarily from academic programs taught to students who attend our universities, is generally segregated into two categories: (1) tuition and fees, and (2) other. Tuition and fees represent costs to our students for educational services provided by our universities and are reflected net of scholarships and tuition discounts. Our universities charge tuition and fees at varying amounts, depending on the university, the type of program and specific curriculum. Our universities bill students a single charge that covers tuition, certain fees and required program materials, such as textbooks and supplies, which we treat as a single performance obligation. Generally, we bill student tuition at the beginning of each academic term for our degree programs and recognize the tuition as revenue on a straight-line basis over the academic term. As part of a student’s course of instruction, certain fees, such as technology fees and graduation fees, are billed separately to students. These fees are generally earned over the applicable term and are not considered separate performance obligations. We generally bill student tuition upon enrollment for our non-degree professional development programs and recognize the tuition as revenue on a straight-line basis over the length of the offering. Other revenue, which primarily consists of contract training revenue and miscellaneous non-student related revenue, is billed and recognized as goods are delivered or services are performed. Our institutions’ academic year is generally at least 30 weeks in length but varies both by institution and program of study and is divided by academic terms. Academic terms are determined by regulatory requirements mandated by the federal government and/or applicable accrediting body, which also vary by university and program. Academic terms are determined by start dates, which vary by university and program and are generally 8 - 12 weeks in length. Ou r non-degree professional development programs are av ailable via subscription –based access for up to 52 weeks or online courses which are generally 12 - 18 weeks in length. Contract Assets For each term, the portion of tuition and fee payments received from students but not yet earned is recorded as deferred revenue and reported as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, as we expect to earn these revenues within the next year. A contract asset is recorded for each student for the current term for which they are enrolled for the amount charged for the current term that has not yet been received as payment and to which we do not have the unconditional right to receive payment because the student has not reached the point in the student’s current academic term at which the amount billed is no longer refundable to the student. On a student by student basis, the contract asset is offset against the deferred revenue balance for the current term and the net deferred revenue balance is reflected within current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For certain of our institutions, students are billed as they enroll in courses, including courses related to future periods. Any billings for future periods would meet the definition of a contract asset as we do not have the unconditional right to receive payment as the course has not yet started. Contract assets related to future periods are offset against the respective deferred revenue associated with the future period. Due to the short-term nature of our academic terms, the contract asset balance which exists at the beginning of each quarter will no longer be a contract asset at the end of that quarter, with the exception of the contract assets associated with future periods. The decrease in contract asset balances are a result of one of the following: it becomes a student receivable balance once a student reaches the point in a student’s academic term where the amount billed is no longer refundable to the student; a refund is made to withdrawn students for the portion entitled to be refunded under each institutions’ refund policy; we receive funds to apply against the contract asset balance; or a student makes a change to the number of classes they are enrolled in which may cause an adjustment to their previously billed amount. As of the end of each quarter, a new contract asset is determined on a student by student basis based on the most recently started term and a student’s progress within that term as compared to the date at which the student is no longer entitled to a refund under each institution’s refund policy. Contract assets associated with future periods remain as contract assets until the course begins and the student reaches the point in that course that they are no longer entitled to a refund. The amount of deferred revenue balances which are being offset with contract assets balances as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands): As of September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Gross deferred revenue $ 78,740 $ 107,200 Gross contract assets ( 40,036 ) ( 35,610 ) Deferred revenue, net $ 38,704 $ 71,590 Deferred Revenue Changes in our deferred revenue balances for the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands): For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2023 For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 CTU AIUS Total CTU AIUS Total Gross deferred revenue, July 1 $ 72,702 $ 32,001 $ 104,703 $ 28,857 $ 38,628 $ 67,485 Business acquisitions, beginning balance - - - - 2,419 2,419 Revenue earned from prior balances ( 59,047 ) ( 25,736 ) ( 84,783 ) ( 23,765 ) ( 31,375 ) ( 55,140 ) Billings during period (1) 95,064 59,427 154,491 142,580 53,254 195,834 Revenue earned for new billings during the period ( 60,326 ) ( 33,150 ) ( 93,476 ) ( 72,826 ) ( 38,471 ) ( 111,297 ) Other adjustments ( 1,283 ) ( 912 ) ( 2,195 ) ( 1,003 ) 410 ( 593 ) Gross deferred revenue, September 30 $ 47,110 $ 31,630 $ 78,740 $ 73,843 $ 24,865 $ 98,708 For the Year to Date Ended September 30, 2023 For the Year to Date Ended September 30, 2022 CTU AIUS Total CTU AIUS Total Gross deferred revenue, January 1 $ 67,245 $ 39,955 $ 107,200 $ 64,674 $ 49,045 $ 113,719 Business acquisitions, beginning balance - - - - 2,419 2,419 Revenue earned from prior balances ( 59,458 ) ( 33,166 ) ( 92,624 ) ( 56,274 ) ( 39,219 ) ( 95,493 ) Billings during period (1) 343,194 186,877 530,071 318,191 177,863 496,054 Revenue earned for new billings during the period ( 301,620 ) ( 161,854 ) ( 463,474 ) ( 252,617 ) ( 165,550 ) ( 418,167 ) Other adjustments ( 2,251 ) ( 182 ) ( 2,433 ) ( 131 ) 307 176 Gross deferred revenue, September 30 $ 47,110 $ 31,630 $ 78,740 $ 73,843 $ 24,865 $ 98,708 ______________ (1) Billings during period includes adjustments for prior billings. Cash Receipts Our students pay for their costs through a variety of funding sources, including federal loan and grant programs, institutional payment plans, employer reimbursement, Veterans’ Administration and other military funding and grants, private and institutional scholarships and cash payments, as well as private loans. Cash receipts from government related sources are typically received during the current academic term. We typically receive funds after the end of an academic term for students who receive employer reimbursements. Students who have not applied for any type of financial aid generally set up a payment plan with the university and make payments on a monthly basis per the terms of the payment plan. If a student withdraws from one of our academic institutions prior to the completion of the academic term, we refund the portion of tuition and fees already paid that, pursuant to our refund policy and applicable federal and state law and accrediting agency standards, we are not entitled to retain. Generally, the amount to be refunded to a student is calculated based upon the percent of the term attended and the amount of tuition and fees paid by the student as of their withdrawal date. In certain circumstances, we have recognized revenue for students who have withdrawn that we are not entitled to retain. We have estimated a reserve for these limited circumstances based on historical evidence in the amount of $ 2.3 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Students are typically entitled to a partial refund until approximately halfway through their term. Pursuant to each university’s policy, once a student reaches the point in the term where no refund is given, the student would not have a refund due if withdrawing from the university subsequent to that date. |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Student Receivables | 7. STUDENT RECEIVABLES Student receivables represent funds owed to us in exchange for the educational services provided to a student. Student receivables are reflected net of an allowance for credit losses at the end of the reporting period. Student receivables, net, are reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as components of both current and non-current assets. Our students pay for their costs through a variety of funding sources, including federal loan and grant programs, institutional payment plans, employer reimbursement, Veterans’ Administration and other military funding and grants, private and institutional scholarships and cash payments, as well as private loans. Cash receipts from government related sources are typically received during the current academic term. We typically receive funds after the end of an academic session for students who receive employer reimbursements. Students who have not applied for any type of financial aid or students whose financial aid may not fully cover the cost of their tuition and fees generally set up a payment plan with the institution and make payments on a monthly basis per the terms of the payment plan. For those balances that are not received during the academic term, the balance is typically due within the current academic year which is approximately 30 weeks in length. Generally, a student receivable balance is written off once a student is out of school and it reaches greater than 90 days past due. Our standard student receivable allowance is based on an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses for student receivables. Our estimation methodology considers a number of quantitative and qualitative factors that, based on our collection experience, we believe have an impact on our repayment risk and ability to collect student receivables. Changes in the trends in any of these factors may impact our estimate of the allowance for credit losses. These factors include, but are not limited to: internal repayment history, changes in the current economic, legislative or regulatory environments, internal cash collection forecasts and the ability to complete the federal financial aid process with the student. These factors are monitored and assessed on a regular basis. Overall, our allowance estimation process for student receivables is validated by trend analysis and comparing estimated and actual performance. We have an immaterial amount of student receivables that are due greater than 12 months from the date of our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount of non-current student receivables under payment plans that are longer than 12 months in duration, net of allowance for credit losses, was $ 1.2 million and $ 1.9 million, respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses We define student receivables as a portfolio segment under ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Changes in our current and non-current allowance for credit losses related to our student receivable portfolio in accordance with the guidance under ASU 2016-13 for the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands): For the Quarter Ended September 30, For the Year to Date Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Balance, beginning of period $ 43,055 $ 43,786 $ 43,141 $ 39,255 Provision for credit losses 7,592 7,905 26,519 32,284 Amounts written-off ( 11,397 ) ( 8,610 ) ( 31,533 ) ( 30,132 ) Recoveries 458 608 1,581 2,282 Balance, end of period $ 39,708 $ 43,689 $ 39,708 $ 43,689 Fair Value Measurements The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for the current portion of student receivables approximates fair value because of the nature of these financial instruments as they generally have short maturity periods. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the non-current portion of student receivables, since observable market data is not readily available, and no reasonable estimation methodology exists. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 8. LEASES We lease most of our administrative and educational facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2032 . Lease terms generally range from five to ten years with one to four renewal options for extended terms. In most cases, we are required to make additional payments under facility operating leases for taxes, insurance and other operating expenses incurred during the operating lease period, which are typically variable in nature. We determine if a contract contains a lease when the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Upon identification and commencement of a lease, we establish a right of use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability. Quantitative information related to leases is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands): For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2023 For the Year to Date Ended September 30, 2023 Lease expenses (1) Fixed lease expenses - operating $ 1,572 $ 4,906 Variable lease expenses - operating 193 1,154 Sublease income (2) - ( 500 ) Total lease expenses $ 1,765 $ 5,560 Other information Gross operating cash flows for operating leases (3) $ ( 2,139 ) $ ( 7,722 ) Operating cash flows from subleases (3) $ - $ 488 For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 For the Year to Date Ended September 30, 2022 Lease expenses (1) Fixed lease expenses - operating $ 2,729 $ 8,191 Variable lease expenses - operating 1,091 2,985 Sublease income (2) ( 271 ) ( 816 ) Total lease expenses $ 3,549 $ 10,360 Other information Gross operating cash flows for operating leases (3) $ ( 4,567 ) $ ( 13,385 ) Operating cash flows from subleases (3) $ 285 $ 838 As of September 30, 2023 As of September 30, 2022 Weighted average remaining lease term (in months) – operating leases 57 66 Weighted average discount rate – operating leases 4.8 % 4.8 % __________________ (1) Lease expense and sublease income represent the amount recorded within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Variable lease amounts represent expenses recognized as incurred which are not included in the lease liability. Fixed lease expenses and sublease income are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and therefore are not necessarily representative of cash payments during the same period. (2) Historically, for certain of our leased locations we have vacated the facility and have fully or partially subleased the space. As of September 30, 2023, we no longer have any subleased locations. (3) Cash flows are presented on a consolidated basis and represent cash payments for fixed and variable lease costs. |

Loss Contingency [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | 9. CONTINGENCIES An accrual for estimated legal fees of $ 2.0 million and $ 1.7 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is presented within other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, at least quarterly, developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that was previously accrued and make adjustments as further information develops, circumstances change or contingencies are resolved. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (1) if the damages sought are indeterminate; (2) if the proceedings are in early stages; (3) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions or settlements; (4) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; and (5) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. United States of America, ex rel. Fiorisce LLC v. Perdoceo Education Corporation, Colorado Technical University, Inc. and American InterContinental University, Inc. On July 19, 2023, we became aware of an amended complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on May 19, 2023. The original complaint was filed under seal on February 25, 2021 by a former employee of Colorado Technical University through a limited liability company, on behalf of herself, any other interested parties affiliated with the LLC and the federal government. On July 18, 2023, the district court ordered the complaint unsealed and we were notified that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) had declined to intervene in the action earlier this year on February 3, 2023. The company had previously received a Civil Investigative Demand on April 8, 2022 from the DOJ and had been cooperating with the DOJ in its review. After the federal government declined to intervene in this case, the relator elected to pursue the litigation on behalf of the federal government. If she is successful, she would receive a portion of the federal government’s recovery. The amended complaint alleges violations of the False Claims Act related to the company’s compliance with federal financial aid credit hour requirements in connection with its use of its learning management system. Relator claims that defendants’ conduct caused the government to make payments of federal funds to defendants which the government would not have made if not for defendants’ alleged violation of the law. Relator seeks treble damages plus civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. Because of the many questions of fact and law that may arise, the outcome of this legal proceeding is uncertain at this point. Based on information available to us at present, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential loss, if any, for this action. Accordingly, we have not recognized any liability associated with this action. We receive from time-to-time requests from state attorneys general, federal and state government agencies and accreditors relating to our institutions, to specific complaints they have received from students or former students or to student loan forgiveness claims which seek information about students, our programs, and other matters relating to our activities. These requests can be broad and time consuming to respond to, and there is a risk that they could expand and/or lead to a formal action or claims of non-compliance. We are subject to a variety of other claims, lawsuits, arbitrations and investigations that arise from time to time out of the conduct of our business, including, but not limited to, matters involving prospective students, students or former students, alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, both individually and on behalf of a putative class, and employment matters. Periodically matters arise that we consider outside the scope of ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. While we currently believe that these matters, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable outcome to occur in any one or more of these matters, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial position and cash flows. Contingent Consideration for Business Acquisition We have an accrual for contingent consideration amounts related to the Coding Dojo acquisition in the aggregate fair value amount of $ 12.0 million as of September 30, 2023, which reflects a decrease of $ 1.7 million recorded within operating expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income during the current quarter. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement and a subsequent amendment to the contingent consideration agreement, a post-closing contingent consideration payment of $ 6.0 million is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as a $ 6.0 million payment expected to be paid in January 2025 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 10. INCOME TAXES The determination of the annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate and the ongoing development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, our provision for income taxes can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The following is a summary of our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate: For the Quarter Ended September 30, For the Year to Date Ended September 30, (Dollars in Thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Pretax income $ 48,088 $ 31,292 $ 169,744 $ 109,841 Provision for income taxes $ 6,781 $ 9,225 $ 39,280 $ 29,929 Effective rate 14.1 % 29.5 % 23.1 % 27.2 % As of June 30, 2023, a valuation allowance of $ 22.5 million was maintained with respect to our foreign tax credits not supported by an Overall Domestic Loss ( “ODL ”) account balance, equity investment, available for sale short-term investments and state net operating losses. Due to a decrease in the cumulative unrealized holding loss on available for sale short-term investments that is reflected in total other comprehensive income (loss), the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance with respect to this item was decreased from $ 1.3 million to $ 1.2 million during the current quarter, which reduced the overall valuation allowance from $ 22.5 million to $ 22.4 million. After considering both positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets, we have determined that it is necessary to continue to maintain a $ 22.4 million valuation allowance against our non-ODL supported foreign tax credits, equity investment, available for sale short-term investments and state net operating losses as of September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by a $ 4.5 million favorable discrete adjustment related to the recognition of the tax benefits associated with a previously disclosed prior year ordinary loss attributable to the stock of a worthless subsidiary, which decreased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 9.3 % and 2.6 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 reflects federal and state tax credits claimed for the 2022 tax return, which decreased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 0.6 % and 0.2 %, respectively. Additionally, the tax effect of stock-based compensation and the release of other previously recorded tax reserves reduced the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 by 0.2 % and 0.6 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022 reflects a $ 1.4 million valuation allowance increase related to select combined state net operating losses, which increased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 4.6 % and 1.3 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022 was impacted by federal and state tax credits claimed for the 2021 tax return, which decreased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 0.3 % and 0.1 %, respectively. Additionally, the tax effect of stock-based compensation and the release of previously recorded tax reserves resulted in a net 0.2 % reduction in the effective tax rate for the year to date ended September 30, 2022. We estimate that it is reasonably possible that the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits for a variety of uncertain tax positions will decrease by up t o $ 2.4 million in t he next twelve months as a result of the completion of various tax audits currently in process and the expiration of the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions. The income tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 does not take into account the possible reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The impact of a reduction to the liability will be treated as a discrete item in the period the reduction occurs. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. As of September 30, 2023, we had ac crued $ 3.1 million as an estimate for reasonably possible interest and accrued penalties. Our tax returns are routinely examined by federal, state and local tax authorities and these audits are at various stages of completion at any given time. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of our U.S. income tax returns through our tax year ended December 31, 2014. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | 11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Overview The Perdoceo Education Corporation Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ 2016 Plan ”) became effective (as the Career Education Corporation 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan) on May 24, 2016, and the amendment and restatement of the 2016 Plan became effective on June 3, 2021, upon its approval by the Company’s stockholders. Under the 2016 Plan, Perdoceo may grant to eligible participants awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, performance units, annual incentive awards, and substitute awards, which generally may be settled in cash or shares of our common stock. The vesting of all types of awards is subject to possible acceleration in certain circumstances. If a plan participant terminates employment for any reason other than by death or disability during the vesting period, the right to unvested awards is generally forfeited. Restricted Stock Units For the years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted approximately 0.4 million restricted stock units in each period which are not "performance-based" and which have a grant-date fair value of approximately $ 5.9 million and $ 3.7 million, respectively. For the years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted approximately 0.3 million and 0.4 million restricted stock units, respectively, which are “performance-based” and which have a grant-date fair value of approximately $ 4.1 million and $ 4.0 million, respectively. The performance-based restricted stock units are subject to performance conditions which are determined at the time of grant and typically cover a three-year performance period. These performance conditions may result in all units being forfeited even if the requisite service period is met. There were no restricted stock units granted during each of the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. All restricted stock units granted in 2023 and 2022 are to be settled in shares of our common stock. Stock Options There were no stock options granted during each of the quarters or years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Share-Based Compensation Expense Total share-based compensation expense for the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 for all types of awards was as follows (dollars in thousands): For the Quarter Ended September 30, For the Year to Date Ended September 30, Award Type 2023 2022 2023 2022 Stock options $ - $ - $ - $ 89 Restricted stock units settled in stock 2,332 1,914 6,640 6,134 Total share-based compensation expense $ 2,332 $ 1,914 $ 6,640 $ 6,223 As of September 30, 2023, we estimate that total compensation expense of approximately $ 18.1 million will be recognized over the next four years for all unvested share-based awards that have been granted to participants. This amount excludes any estimates of forfeitures. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Stock Repurchase Program | 12. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM On January 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program for up to $ 50.0 million which commenced March 1, 2022 and expires September 30, 2024 . The other terms of this stock repurchase program are consistent with the Company’s previous stock repurchase program which expired February 28, 2022 . The timing of purchases and the number of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by the Company’s management and will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, trading volume and other general market and economic conditions, its assessment of alternative uses of capital, regulatory requirements and other factors. Repurchases will be made in open market transactions, including block purchases, conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act as well as may be made pursuant to trading plans established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase shares and the Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time, without any prior notice. During the year to date ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $ 2.7 million at an average price of $ 12.35 per share. There were no shares repurchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the year to date ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 2.1 million shares of our common stock for approximately $ 23.1 million at an average price of $ 11.02 per share, of which 0.6 million shares of common stock were repurchased for $ 7.4 million at an average price of $ 12.04 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $ 24.1 million was available under our authorized stock repurchase program to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. Shares of stock repurchased under the program are held as treasury shares. These repurchased shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Weighted Average Common Shares | 13. WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised and restricted stock units were settled for common shares during the period. The weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (shares in thousands): For the Quarter Ended September 30, For the Year to Date Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Basic common shares outstanding 65,634 67,506 66,758 68,193 Common stock equivalents 1,469 1,044 1,314 938 Diluted common shares outstanding 67,103 68,550 68,072 69,131 For the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, certain unexercised stock option awards are excluded from our computations of diluted earnings per share, as these shares were out-of-the-money and their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The anti-dilutive options that were excluded from our computations of diluted earnings per share were 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares for the years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |

[1] Historically, for certain of our leased locations we have vacated the facility and have fully or partially subleased the space. As of September 30, 2023, we no longer have any subleased locations. Lease expense and sublease income represent the amount recorded within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Variable lease amounts represent expenses recognized as incurred which are not included in the lease liability. Fixed lease expenses and sublease income are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and therefore are not necessarily representative of cash payments during the same period. |

[1] Lease expense and sublease income represent the amount recorded within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Variable lease amounts represent expenses recognized as incurred which are not included in the lease liability. Fixed lease expenses and sublease income are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and therefore are not necessarily representative of cash payments during the same period. Historically, for certain of our leased locations we have vacated the facility and have fully or partially subleased the space. As of September 30, 2023, we no longer have any subleased locations. Cash flows are presented on a consolidated basis and represent cash payments for fixed and variable lease costs. |
