School is not regionally accredited so don't waste your time or money. They claim to be "working on it" but what they mean is "we havent bothered with it in the last 50 years that we've been open, but just now see how much money we can bring in if we were accredited". Faculty are homegrown meaning that they hire graduates as their full time faculty with only a year or two experience in the field. No other respectable institution relies on the student body to teach incoming students.
