Question:

Is a for-profit college any private one, or any non-state school?

Just curious.

Nope. Most private universities are non-profit.

For-profits are often (though not always) online - i.e. Kaplan, University of Phoenix, etc.

For-profit schools are run by organizations whose goal it is to turn out a profit. While not-for-profit schools receive donations and tuition payments, that money goes back to the Universities, either through operating expenses or endowments.
