Is Patriot Bible University a legitimate school?

Patriot Bible University, formerly known as Patriot University, is an unaccredited religious correspondence school located in Del Norte, Colorado. Critics charge it is a diploma mill, lacking sufficient academic standards to award degrees.

Patriot is not accredited by any recognized accreditation body. As such, its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted in some jurisdictions.

If you are pursuing a college or university degree that can be used in secular employment, it would be better for you to look for another institution. If you are pursuing a Bible degree to be used in a ministry vocation - PBU might warrant a look.

Make sure the school of interest to you has a regional accreditation if you plan on using student loans or taking advantage of financial aid. Most government agencies and public institutions require degrees from schools with a regional accreditation.
