Re: American Pacific University

american pacific university has an office in honolulu. It says in big letters on their door: American Pacific University and American Institute of Hypnotherapy. apprently they share an office, and the woman inside does business for both. that might also be why the Hypnotherapy website is redirecting to American Pacific University.

Now comes the surprise: The president of American Pacific University has his doctorate from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy. So without knowing anything else about the school, this smells somehow like a "self-award" and would be enough reason for me to cross the school of my potential list of unaccredited colleges.
