I quote John Bear:

Answering a question about PWU
http://en.allexperts.com/e/p/pa/pacific_...ersity.htm

I don't have a 1986 edition to look at. There was a time when I believed PWU was doing an OK job for an unaccredited school, but I always made clear that this was in the context of unaccredited schools, never as good a choice as properly accredited. So at best, these words are taken out of context.

It was a few years after that that the American Journal television program did a 'sting' operation in which one of their undercover reporters was able to purchase a Master's degree in less than ten days, no questions asked. American Journal also attempted to visit the 'campus' in Hawaii, and found it to be an empty room adjoining their lawyer's offices. Any possible positiveness I may have felt for PWU was gone by this time.

Some one provided the following update about PWU:

Pacific Western University, the school mentioned in the allexperts.com site does not exist as such. It does say PWU is under new ownership and has been since 2005. Last year or so the new owners changed its name to California Miramar University and is seeking DETC accreditation. PWU- Hawaii was seperated and sold in 2004. Its new name was American Pacwest International University and was closed down by the Hawaiian government. It too no longer exist. California Miramar University website is listed below.
