You don't need one person's opinion - you need to sort through LOTS of them. I just googled "California Coast University Reviews" and read through a few dozen. There are many review sites and hundreds of reviews. They leaned to the good side, with some few complaints. One poster said his CCU Bachelor's wasn't getting him into any Master's program at RA schools. My take: he should try other schools. Do some research. (I have no idea what his GPA was, where he'd applied etc...) A couple (no more) complaints of difficulty contacting professors to get questions answered. There probably ISN'T a school where this doesn't happen sometimes..
Read a couple-three hundred reviews. Then make up your mind. I saw absolutely NO egregious complaints - the reviews were generally very favourable. Back in days of old, people used to slag CCU because at that time it was unaccredited. Those days are LONG LONG gone. I have NEVER seen anything in print resembling a scandal or indicating dishonesty.
I think it's really worth considering - if DEAC accreditation works for your friend, but you don't have to listen to me or any one individual. Start by reading the reviews. Go from there. Maybe request further info from the school if it seems a, um...Vie-able bet. Over my forum-years here and everywhere else, I've gotten to know a couple of MBA grads of Cal. Coast quite well. (As well as you can through forums, PMs and email.) Both spoke highly of their school and found their CCU degrees helped their careers.. I don't mean that to be a deciding factor for you - just an anecdote. But both were credible, honest people in my opinion. They always have been.
