Breyer State University, also called Breyer State University-Alabama, is an unaccredited distance education, for profit, private university that formerly operated in the U.S. states of Idaho and Alabama and now reports a location in Panama.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contact Information )〕 It has been described by ''The New Republic'' magazine as a diploma mill that "claimed official-sounding accreditation to attract hundreds of people to obtain degrees".〔Clay Risen, "Degree Burns", ''The New Republic'', January 23, 2006, p. 13.〕 Breyer State University disputes this categorization.〔(Accreditation ) from Breyer State website〕〔Diploma: Expert wants oversight change. ''The Montgomery Advertiser'', February 12, 2007, B-4.〕 ==History== Breyer State originally incorporated in Kamiah, Idaho in 2001, but later incorporated in Alabama in 2004, as Breyer State University-Alabama.〔 In 2003, Breyer was described as a "conjoined twin" of James Monroe University. Breyer State's former president, Dominick L. Flarey,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dominick L.

The Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education denied Breyer State's request for renewal of its license in June 2008 and then reported that the school had moved to Idaho.〔(No more diploma mills: Chancellor Bradley Byrne announces new initiatives to shut down sham schools, better regulate other for-profits ), Alabama Community College System, Department of Postsecondary Education, News Release, July 14, 2008〕 As of September 2010, its website displayed an address in Los Angeles, California at the bottom of each page.〔(Breyer State University website ), accessed September 6, 2010〕 As of August 2012, the website lists an address in Panama.〔(Breyer State University website ), accessed August 6, 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Breyer State University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
