Also Alemda offers theological degrees.
Accreditation
While Almeda University claims it has "accreditation" from three organizations, none of these organizations has the approval of the US Department of Education or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. As a result, these accreditations are considered "bogus" to the academic community.
Criticism and controversy
In 2005, Wired News included Almeda University in an article about school accreditation and diploma mills The article noted "Almeda University, which is not accredited by a recognized agency, grants degrees based on life experience."
