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.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
