Of course the school says it is as good as any accredited institution, it would be remarkable if it didn't. On the other hand, it is clearly selling degrees so fits the definition. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 09:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Clear to you, maybe. What does that mean, though? We are editors to an encyclopedia, so save the judgment and try and be an even-handed reporter. --Turkmen 09:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)This user now indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet

Even handed? They are connected to group that sold accreditation for $100.00, they have no campus, the President has no degrees from any accredited schools, and they sell doctorates in a lump sum. Arbustoo 10:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History, course offerings, response to non-accreditation

I'd like to put the following back on the entry. Are any opposed? If so, why?

The original school was called Pacific College of Graduate Studies and it was founded in 1980 by Dr. Clifford Wilson. However, in 1987 the school was incorporated as Pacific International University.

PIU offers courses in the Old Testament, New Testament, theology, church ministries, cults, missiology, philosophy, and many other subjects. They also offer the following degrees: B.D., B.Th., M.Div., M.Th., and doctoral degrees in Divinity and Theology.

The university has no accreditation. However, it says, "Our own conviction is that the standard of our courses and the quality of our graduates (many of whom are now in world-wide Christian leadership) are at least as important as any form of 'accreditation'."[1]

That's all well and good about them not wanting accreditation. It's not okay for you to use sock puppets and delete facts. Arbustoo 10:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
