ACCREDITATION:

AMERICAN PACIFIC UNIVERISTY IS NOT ACCREDITED BY AN ACCREDITING AGENCY (OR ASSOCIATION) RECOGNIZED BY THE UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF EDUCATION.

 

LICENSURE:

The State of Hawaii does not regulate the issuance of academic degree programs. According to the Hawaiian Postsecondary Governance Structures (rev. 10/2007), approval authority for proprietary vocational and technical schools lies with the State of Hawaii Department of Education. Regarding private degree-granting institutions, Hawaii has statutory requirements relating to disclosure and prohibited practice but not an approval/licensing law (http://www.american-aos.org/licensing_schools.htm).

 

Note: In the United States, many licensing authorities require accredited degrees as the basis for eligibility for licensing. In some cases, accredited colleges may not accept for transfer courses and degrees completed at unaccredited colleges, and some employers may require an accredited degree as a basis for eligibility for employment.
