    What they say about accreditation is essentially gibberish. Their courses won't have any value as a credential, and given the quality of their site, I doubt they'd have any instructional value either.

    This is just a crappy re-packaging of the already crappy Abet Open "Un-iversity". It's a mill wrapped in a mill. It's laughable.

    Their site has many grammatical errors.

    How does one get a .US domain name extension? - first time I have seen it.

    Well, it is certainly a waste of your money. However, if you have some time to kill, there may be something to the courses. The diplomas will be worthless, but there may be some instructional value if you can drill through the 1995-style website. (The website drives me bananas just clicking on the links...) If you've taught ESL, it might give you some insights into the challenges faced by those who wish to describe business concepts and theories in the English language. ;-)
