== History ==
Formerly, American City University was the name of an institution that operated in Wyoming, where it was one of a dozen unaccredited offerors of higher education by distance learning that operated under a permissive state higher education law and were suspected of being diploma mills.〔(Panel rejects 'diploma mills' bill ), ''Casper Star-Tribune'', January 1, 2005〕〔 In 2005, ACU was reported to be operating out of office space in the Tivoli Building, a Victorian building in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming.〔Mead Gruver, (Alleged "diploma mills" flocking to Wyoming ), Associated Press story published by ''The Seattle Times'', February 9, 2005.〕〔(U.S. attorney buys historic building ), ''Casper Star-Tribune'', February 8, 2006〕〔(Wyoming should be oh so proud! Diploma mill lies can be heard (read) around the world. From Wyoming. ), ''Cheyenne Herald'', February 27, 2006, page 4.〕 ACU operated in 14 other locations worldwide, including sites in London; Limerick and Cork, Ireland; Kiev; Macedonia; Dubai; Beirut; Athens; Sri Lanka; Taiwan; the Philippines; and Malaysia.〔 ACU reported in 2005 that 300 students were enrolled worldwide.〔Ilene Olson, (Officials debate private school bill ), ''Wyoming Tribune Eagle'', August 25, 2005〕 The school is alleged to have marketed an MBA program in Vietnam that did not deliver the promised value to the students it enrolled.〔(Wyo-based diploma mills create ill will overseas ), ''Casper Star-Tribune'', January 8, 2007〕〔("Giao duc DH hau WTO Dung la nhung vi khach kem hieu biet" ) (Vietnamese) Dr. Mark Ashwill, director of the Institute of International Education in Vietnam warns about American City University MBA program. Vietbao, Nov 24, 2006. Retrieved April 23, 2010.〕 After Wyoming enacted a law requiring higher education institutions in the state to be accredited or in the process of obtaining accreditation by July 1, 2006, several unaccredited schools closed down or left the state.〔Joan Barron, (Online school departs ), ''Casper Star-Tribune'', June 16, 2006〕〔Dave Featherly, (Warren National University (formerly Kennedy-Western University) to close ), ''Cheyenne Herald'' website, February 2, 2009〕〔Megan Gruver, (New law prompts online school changes ), ''Casper Star-Tribune'', March 15, 2007〕 ACU sought accreditation from the Distance Education and Training Council.〔 As of June 2009, however, the Wyoming Department of Education listed ACU as "no longer licensed or registered ... to operate as () private post-secondary degree granting education institution."〔(Private School Registration General Information ), Wyoming Department of Education website, List current as of 6/17/09, accessed April 22, 2010〕
