Washington International University

I decided to start a new thread rather than continue this topic inside the Kennedy-Western topic.

The only approval to issue degrees that Washington International has is from the British Virgin Islands. It is simply a business license. WIU asserts in its published catalog that it is an international university. Its lawyer says that it does not operate in Pennsylvania, though there is plenty of evidence that it does: buildings, signage, addresses, photos.

One of the more humorous items is the landscape outside the office, which appears in a window in one of the catalog photos: must have been a record-breaking snow in the British Virgin Islands that year.

Washington International University has, as far as we can tell, no authority to grant degrees from any legitimate source. It dreamed itself up one day and has been a financial success ever since.

 

That Pennsylvania address

The WIU application gives the address to which the completed form is to be sent as

Student Communications Center
144 Ivy Lane
King of Prussia, PA 19406 USA.

Here's a link to an aerial photo of that address.

In case there's a problem with that link, ut/paste this on one line into your browser's address window:
