471:"Andrew Jackson University has a decidedly lowtech approach toward distance education. Although the institution maintains an up-to-date Web site, its curriculum is based on textbook study. AJU markets itself as the online university for religious home-schooled students. Its teacher-practitioner faculty produces the institution's study guides and course examinations in each degree program. It is unclear whether they have direct contact with students. AJU is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), which is recognized by the U.S.Department of Education as a national accrediting agency. Formerly known as the National Home Study Council, the DETC accredits more than 70 institutions that offer home study, even though credits from DETC-accredited institutions are not widely accepted at regionally accredited colleges and universities." 176: 77: 53: 486:---I'm glad to see this discussion on here.

I did my best to make sure it met wikipedia community standards. I welcome help getting this article to where it needs to be. 384:
I did not write about this University, but I did change a few words to make it seem less like an advertisment in my opinion. Also I dont know how it could be suggested that its not notable, its an accredited university, that seems like more than enough to me!

Slim so far. (Also, after reading these articles, it looks like the "Accreditation" section may be a little adverty - DETC-accredited schools' course credits don't seem to travel very far.) -

It looks like the location of the school is incorrectly listed as Hoover, AL. The location of Andrew Jackson University is listed as Birmingham, AL at both the U.S. accreditation website (
