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.
It's not off if the only important "fact" you are trying to tell people is that you have your degree!
HA! I meant to type "odd."
I would think the educated minds in the UPC would be embarrassed of this.
So what are our takeaways boys and girls? Be honest, don't misrepresent yourself because that's just as dishonest as lying, and don't try to mislead people with false claims of expertise. Just say you are the man of God and you speak for him, and you answer to no one. That seems to work better. TIC

If they even know about it

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
In checking in with SEU, about getting a PhD so far the response time has been very slow on the part of Dr John Johnson, academic director SEU.
What I have learned is that:
Mr. Johnson was quick to inform me
"SEU is an American University and as such is not able to award UK qualifications."
Also they cannot admit students from Arkansas, odd considering that is where their "campus" is located.
And the best part so far is their email address you would expect something like jjohnson@SEU.edu. Right?
Oh no they are upscale the email address of the "academic director" is OwlsJKJ@aol.com
I will keep all of you updated in my pursuit of PhD.
Special thanks to Lee Stoneking who turned me on to his alma mater.
Hey Baron, when you get ahold of that guy see if you can get me a good deal on a couple of degrees. Maybe you can chew him down a little.
