Breyer State reports having more than 120 contracted faculty. In 2008 the Alabama Community College System reported the finding that "many" of the faculty members' degrees "did not come from accredited institutions." It offers bachelor, masters, doctoral, and associate degree programs in diverse fields, including business, psychology and various counseling specialties, education, law, and health care fields.
Breyer was described in 2003 as a "conjoined twin" of James Monroe University. Breyer State's president, Dominick L. Flarey, is also identified as president of James Monroe University.
Breyer State originally incorporated in Kamiah, Idaho in 2001, but later incorporated in Alabama in 2004, as Breyer State University-Alabama. A July 2008 news release Alabama by the Alabama Community College System announced an initiative to rid the state of fraudulent institutions and had this to say about Breyer State University, "While many of the institutions closed for legitimate reasons, some – notably Columbus University and Breyer State University – were operating apparent diploma mills and taking shameful advantage of hundreds of unsuspecting students." As of August 2008, Breyer State's website displayed an address in Los Angeles, California at the bottom of each page. As of August 2012, the website lists an address in Panama.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
