Possible Future DEAC University

[dbinghamjr]

My understanding is that a lot of start-up schools have said they're applying for accreditation as a way to attract more students but then the actual accreditation never appears.  I think this is the list
Institutions To Be Considered (deac.org)

But this school has said they AREN'T applying for accreditation.

Their website says they did the initial inquiry with DEAC. They'll have to operate for 2 years before they could even apply, which they "haven't decided" if they're going to or not. They also inquired with ACICS, who told them they had to basically throw out their entire curriculum.

In the long run, I believe they'll run into issues w/ state licensing if they don't become accredited. I'm not sure if any state allows a non-religious school to operate without at least a plan to become accredited (granted, I haven't research Hawaii, where TRU is registered).

The program does sound interesting, at least different. It could be along the lines of the ENEB MBAs, something for personal enrichment if all else fails.
