Talk:Pacific International University

message: 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)

message: In addition to its complete lack of accreditation, Pacific International University is not recognized nor authorized by the Department of Higher Education of the State of Missouri.

Go ahead.  Search it to your heart's content.  PIU isn't listed.  Several other Christian colleges are (which would tend to indicate that the State of Missouri can't be accused of bias) as are several other correspondence colleges, but PIU is conspicuous in its absence.
