Institutional Status

In accordance with the provisions of California Education Code 94900 mid/or 94915, this institution had received approval to operate from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. That approval to operate meant that the Bureau determined and certified that the institution met the minimum standards for integrity, financial stability, and educational quality, including the offering of bona fide instruction by qualified faculty and the appropriate assessment of students’ achievement prior to, during, and at the end of its programs.

To earn approved status in California, a degree-granting institution must undergo a qualitative review and assessment of programs offered and of all institutional policies, procedures, and operations. The assessment is conducted by a comprehensive on-site review process performed by a qualified visiting committee composed of educators and other appropriate experts.
