Re: Cal Southern DETC Accreditation

More | Report Post

Did you take the time to read the DETC standards. They're on the DETC website. Based on
your poor research, you must be a Cal Southern law student!

“The graduates’ success in passing outside independent assessments must be
equivalent to other appropriately accredited education providers that are similar
in nature and level.”

What you you think this means?

Last year people were making the same claims about Lincoln. And what happened to then?

If you're a sales rep for Cal Southern you're not fooling anyone.
