St. Regis "University" has been claiming on their website and elsewhere that one of their degrees would qualify someone for teacher certification in Idaho. So I contacted the Idaho Department of Education. Keith Potter of the Idaho DOE has assured me that Idaho would not accept St. Regis degrees. It sounded as if he had never even heard of them because he had to look them up. Interestingly, the link that SR uses to prove this takes you to USCredentials.com where it states that: "Keith Potter from The Department of Education for the State of Idaho has requested our [uscredentials.com] education evaluation services for all foreign credentials and certification for their Teachers. Our evaluations will certify your Education for the State of Idaho as required by the Idaho Department of Education." Apparently, St. Regis thinks this means something in terms of acceptability of their degrees. However, the State of Idaho disagrees. Tom Nixon
If Liberia was looking for teachers, I doubt they would accept degrees from SRU. SRU's half-assed attempt at claiming that their degrees would qualify for teacher certification is nothing more than bunk. Their claim is an excellent example of how institutions like SRU take their customers for a ride.
