History and academics

Frederick Taylor University was established in 1994 [1] to cater to mature adult learners, 20 years or older. The university previously offered undergraduate and graduate distance education programs in business leading to either a bachelor's or master's degree. [2]

FTU currently offers both resident and nonresident programs leading to various certificates in business, as well as a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate in Christian leadership. [3] [4] Secular degrees are no longer offered; religious degree granting institutions are typically exempt from the state-approval process, but the school mentions on its website that the eligibility for exempt status has not been verified by the California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). [5]

Change of control and ownership on February 15, 2017

Upon being approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) for a change of ownership/control, the university was acquired by The Vines Branches Transformation Company, a corporation based in City of Orange in Southern California.

Approval and accreditation status

Frederick Taylor University was formerly approved to operate by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) and did appear on the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) list of state-approved institutions. That authorization was from the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE), a predecessor agency of the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). The BPPE conducted two site visits to FTU in May 2012 and April 2014 [6]

On September 19, 2017, FTU's state approval was suspended. [7] The school no longer appears on the BPPE's directory of approved institutions [8]

FTU is currently not accredited by any accreditation body recognized by U.S. education authorities. [9]
