International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU) is a self-styled "accreditation" board based in the United States. It has no status with the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).[1] Without USDE and CHEA recognition, its "accreditations" are essentially meaningless.[2]

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has indicated that Rochville University and Belford University, and the agencies from which they claim accreditation, "appear to be operated by the same people".[3]
