Apparently this thing has a business license in Arkansas (the "charter"). That's not the same thing as approval to operate as a university, but since this thing isn't located in Arkansas, that's probably legal.

Then it registers as a foreign corporation in the UK and cites British legislation (the "Education Reform Act of 1998") stating that use of foreign degrees is legal in the UK.

So this thing dodges Arkansas education regulations because it operates out of the UK, and it thinks that it dodges British education regulations because it has an Arkansas business license.

So effectively, it is nowhere at all.

Pretty neat.

Actually, many British degree mills do this, though until recently Ireland was the preferred locale for the foreign business license.*

Still want to know what the PhD is for. Very off to cite a degree and not put your concentration.
