Accreditation status
NorthWest's promotional materials state that it is incorporated in the United States, but that it is "not accredited by an accreditation agency approved by the US Department of Education"[2] Allen Ezell's 2007 book Accreditation Mills discusses the institution as an example of a 'degree mill'.[3] It is listed as an unaccredited institution by the education agencies in Oregon and Maine.[1][4] In addition to being unaccredited, it is illegal to use its degrees in Texas.[5]
In 2009, it was listed as registered with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.[6]
