CA approved list

Where can a current list of CA-approved schools be found?

T'anks Dennis.

 

Besides the California Postsecondary Education Council's listing that Dennis posted, see also the BPPVE's own listing:

http://app1.dca.ca.gov/bppve/school-search/

This one differs by listing all of the more than 2,300 CA-approved schools, not just the degree-granting ones. Most CA-approved schools are trades and vocational things.

The CPEC list is a lot easier to use, but unfortunately I don't think that it is as complete or as up to date as the BPPVE list. Some degree-granting institutions are omitted.

 

T'anks Bill!

 

There is some strangeness going on in Sacramento. Sheila Hawkins, long-time top administrator in the State Approval process in the Bureau (and, previously, the Council) was apparently reassigned to a low-end position, and she is apparently suing the Bureau. I'm trying to learn more details.

 

MY favorite entry on the list is the People's College of Law, www.peoplescollegeoflaw.edu. Check out their web site!

Diploma mills! Every last ONE of them!

 

Perhaps, but only one sounds like it specializes in con artistry, pimping, and illegal drug smuggling.

 

Ooooh! Do tell! Which one? Fuller Theological Seminary, maybe?

 

With the church growth movement anything is possible, Nosborne.

 

Re: Non-CA Approved schhols

Why should they be held suspect?

The reason that they aren't CA-approved is because:

A.) Public institutions aren't included under the law since they have their own government oversight, and

B.) Institutions, whether public or private, are not considered private postsecondary institutions for the purposes of the law if they are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

The applicable law is the Private Postsecondary and Vocational Reform Act.

The applicable subsections are 94739(b)(4) and 94739(b)(7)

http://www.bppve.ca.gov/reform_act/act29501.htm

Section 94739(b)(6) is also interesting, since it defines California's religious exemption.

 

Questions

Can a school be legally operated in CA and accept CA citizens, if it is not CA-Approved, Religious exempt, or NA/RA. It is my understanding it can not.

The other question is, can the religious exempt schools in CA issue non-religious degrees? What are CA’s provisions for a religious/divinity school?

From my prospective, who ever falls out from the answer to the above – or- if a religious theological school is operating as exempt and issuing Business Degrees – then it is truly concerning.

 

Oh, c'mon! Someone here, besides me, must be old enough to know the answer to this silly trivia question. Anyone?

 

Rio Hondo College?

 

Harvey Mudd of Star Trek fame?

 

Yes, but it was "Harry Mudd." Harcourt Fenton Mudd, or Mudd the First.

"Mudd's Women" and "I, Mudd" were the two episodes. Also, he appeared in one episode on the short-lived animated series.

Roger C. Carmel played Harry Mudd. Carmel died later of a drug overdose.

 

Harry Mudd it is, hence my use of the term "sounds like". I knew there had to be Trekker out there somewhere.

A good audio description can be found here (see No. 10 swindler.wav)

 

Now that might have been the best spin off of all time!
