    From the ODA site
    :International University Missouri- Does not have authority to issue some of the degrees that it issues. ODA has no evidence that this is an accredited or otherwise acceptable provider of postsecondary education meeting Oregon standards.
    Also listed on Michigan's list of unaccepted degrees in that state.

    Without answering your questions, I'd like to ask some myself.

    Why would you choose this university over any other? What do they provide that no other school provides? In short, why have you singled out this particular school as the one that could best help you move toward your goals?
    Let us know what you hope to achieve and we will be able to point you toward some legimate schools that will help you on your way.

    This thing has been operating since the 1970's. Take a look at Bear's guide for more information.

    Missouri was once a haven for diploma mills. It seems they are down to one. (Or two, if you count Clayton, which now operates overseas.)

    John: Let's not forget the dreadful Western States University, pride of Doniphan, MO and the equally nonwonderful Pacific International U. of Springfield. And more dubious Bible schools than one could shake a rod (or staff) at.

    Look at the accreditation page here: http://www.tiu.org/accreditation.htm. You'll see that The National Academy of Higher Education (NAHE) is one of their accreditors. Look here: http://www.nahighered.org/ADLPAffiliations.htm for a list of who NAHE/ADLP accredits. It's not an encouraging list.

    Numerous posts at DI (see if the search feature can dig them up for you) show that this outfit has significant connections to Richard J. Hoyer.

    Do a Google search for

    "Richard J. Hoyer" "Steve Orr"

    with the quotation marks as placed to learn more about Mr. Hoyer.

    I like how they state they are a former member of the BBB.

    Now, I wonder why they're no longer a member?

    Not to mention Greenleaf, with an apartment address in St Louis to provide the weak link to Missouri.

    Shills and Mills

    This tread is useful for what purpose, to get free press for the "University"? Shills and Mills, always start these ones, Yours Truly, Nikolas Horthy

    Re: Shills and Mills

    You mean "free advertising." "Press" is always free.

    I doubt seriously that degree mills are promoted via their discussion here, even in threads started by shills. They seem to be able to draw customers on their own; they don't need this little forum. Also, since much information about mills abounds here, it is likely some people otherwise inclined to enroll in such "schools" would decide otherwise. We've certainly read comments as such from many posters.

    Cockroaches run under the fridge when the lights come on. Or they go to Denmark.
