Organization:International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities
From HandWiki
The International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU) is a self-styled "accreditation" board based in the United States. It has no status with the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).[1] Without USDE and CHEA recognition, its "accreditations" are essentially meaningless.[2] The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has indicated that Rochville University and Belford University, and the agencies from which they claim accreditation, "appear to be operated by the same people".[3]
Schools claiming IAAOU accreditation
- Ashwood University
- Belford University (not to be confused with the University of Bedford which is linked to University Degree Program, another diploma mill)
- Belford High School [1]
