American Central University (ACU) is an unaccredited private, non-profit university licensed by the state of Wyoming. According to the Associated Press, "For not having even one qualified instructor in Wyoming, the agency prepared last fall [2004] to pull the school's license -- only to have the process bog down while state attorneys deliberate how to do that."^[1]

History

The Associated Press noted, "Wyoming licensed a Laramie-based online school last year even as its owner helped direct a Hawaii online school that was offering illegal medical degrees and was later shut down by a judge."^[1] The article further explained, "The owner of American Central University, Adalat Khan, was the Malaysian regional director for American University of Hawaii, a fact that Wyoming education officials concede they overlooked in the documents Khan provided on his background."^[1] In July 2006 Wyoming passed a law requiring all schools to either have accreditation or be a candidate for it.^[2] ACU applied for accreditation one day prior to the deadline in which the law gives schools five years to get the accreditation.
