The Postsecondary Education Institute was formed to represent the University, which is a fully accredited University and offers distance learning degrees. The Institute handles all administrative processing for the University. The University works with individuals who believe they are qualified for an online degree in their area of expertise because of their knowledge and experience. This association is truly an international organization. It approves only nontraditional institutions.
Nontraditional degrees are completely legal and are a recognized method of obtaining a degree.
The University does not advertise, thus its name is not associated with external degree programs. The University Board feels this is important since some nontraditional institutions have made a bad public name for themselves and have created a less favorable public image for other reputable nontraditional institutions. You the degree recipient determine whether you want anyone to know that you have an external degree since the degree you will receive looks like a degree from any other college or university.
