"University"

[EdByars]

Any "organization" can call themselves a University and offer any
"degree' they desire. Any person who expects to enhance their resume
with an "Engineering Degree" had better be sure that the ciriculum
that grants the degree is accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for
Enginering and Technology). Schools, Colleges, Universities, etc. are
not accreditated. The individual engineering ciriculum is accredited.
Most potential employers and all reputable graduate schools know this
distinction.
Be careful with that tuition money whether it is from your pocket or
mine (as a taxpayer).

Cessna?

Sorry, I just had to bring that up.

Ed has a point. Accreditation is often misunderstood. As a result it is
quite easy for scrupulous organizations to exploit misunderstandings for
profit. A things to look for on an U.S. post-secondary educational website
is a domain extension of ".edu". You will find that most all Colleges,
Universities and educational organization have this Internet top level
domain extension.

The document file in the following link is a good US accreditation overview.
