Key points about this institution:I'm curious about two things:
- Claims to be based in Atlanta, Georgia
- Offers online MBA, MCS, and DBA programs
- Only has CPD (Continuing Professional Development) recognition, NO formal academic accreditation
- Currently appears on the Georgia Nonpublic Education Commission (GNPEC) consumer alerts page
If anyone has insights about similar institutions or relevant regulations in Georgia, I'd appreciate learning more.
- What's the business model here - how do they sustain operations without accreditation?
- Are there any regulatory/legal implications for operating this way in Georgia?

Never heard about them before and don’t know if this means the college is legitimate (but so far looks like it has no accreditation status in the US)
