Kennedy-Western University claims to be a correspondence school that offers degrees through the Ph.D. level, its major areas of study being in engineering.
Kennedy-Western University was one of the unaccredited schools or diploma mills figuring in the hearings of the U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs on May 11 and 12, 2004. A disgruntled former employee, Andrew Coulombe, testifying to the committee, described his feeling that his work there was unethical and summarized it thus: "I can tell you that there is no value to a Kennedy-Western education. Anything you learn there can be learned by buying a book and reading it on your own."
