Washington International University

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Washington International University is an unaccredited institute of higher learning. It describes itself as a "university without borders", serving clients from around the world.

The university does not have a campus, and its only address is an office building where it receives mail and messages. Yil Karademir, the university's owner, has been quoted as saying, "We are entrepreneurs, we are not educators. I'm in it for money. I'm not in it for education".[1]

According to the Oregon Student Assistance Commission, the university is forbidden to advertise or offer its programs in Australia.[1]

The university is not to be confused with the prestigous Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
