Columbia Pacific University - Legal Status of CPU Degrees

Legal Status of CPU Degrees

California recognizes CPU degrees earned before June 25, 1997, as "legally valid" for use in the state. CPU degrees earned on or after June 25, 1997, are "not legally valid" for use in California.

Michigan, for state civil service jobs only, does not accept degrees from CPU.

Oregon lists degrees from both CPU and CCWU as "unaccredited degrees" and thus prohibited for various uses under Oregon law. The use of "unaccredited degrees" in violation of this prohibition can result in civil penalties.

Texas also lists degrees from both CPU and CCWU as "fraudulent or substandard" and thus prohibited for various uses under Texas law. The use of "fraudulent or substandard" degrees in violation of this prohibition is a Class B misdemeanor in Texas.
