Glendale University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Not to be confused with Glendale University College of Law in California.
Glendale University an unaccredited online school of higher learning founded in 1997. Glendale University is not accredited by any recognised accreditation body. As such, its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.
It has been listed as a diploma mill.[1] The New York Times said, "we could graduate for $500 from Glenndale (not to be confused with the Glendale colleges in Arizona and California). The competing reps gave the same spiel: no classes, no accreditation but a diploma to convince any employer."[1]

[edit] Accreditation
Glendale University claims accreditation from the National Distance Learning Accreditation Council, but it has no status with the US Department of Education (USDE) or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation(CHEA).[2]. Without USDE and CHEA to recognize the "accreditation agency" such accreditations are "bogus" to the academic community.[3]
