From the webpage of representative office in Bejing, China, the history of the University is as follows: 1978 Established in New Mexico 1996 Upgraded from College to University status 1999 Moved administrative office to, Carson, California (40 minutes from LA Airport) President: Dr. Thomas N. Pappas The photos of President and some buildings (campus or not?) can be accessed at: http://www.shilun.com/html/introduction.htm The first intake of MBA students in Bejing, China will be started shortly. The program fee is RMB 28,000 (i.e. US$3,400) and ALL must be paid before the start of the program. Interestingly, some "University Certificates" are listed at http://www.shilun.com/html/certificate.htm I can't understand those "certificates" listed in the webpage. The University is not listed in the list of accredited colleges and universities in California: http://www.wascweb.org/senior/list.html and is not listed in the Directory of Private Postsecondary Institutions in California: http://app1.dca.ca.gov/bppve/school-search/ It is also listed in Bear's Guide (14 ed.) nor in the Oregan unaccredited universities' webpage: http://www.osac.state.or.us/unaccredited.html A search through Google finds nothing. Is that University "invisible" or "non-existent"?
The "University Certificates" can be clicked to enlarge. The Oregan webpage should be http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.html
I mean it is NOT listed in Bear's Guide (14 ed.) Edit, edit and edit...., the problem is that no preview can be made before posting.
Yan, the corporate information can be found here and the school's web site here.
