Fairfax University of America

The university is certified to operate in Virginia by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) and is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools[2] to award certificates, bachelor's degrees, and master's degrees. ACICS came under heavy scrutiny by regulators for its lax accreditation standards and failure to flag deficient programs at several institutions, including Fairfax University, which was "blasted [for] the quality and rigor of its online education program" by state regulators in 2019 and nearly closed down.[3]
