Is Lorenz University a legitimate university?

Answer 1

To get the recognition universities and colleges need they need to be accredited by the accreditation agencies approved by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), the US Department of Education (USDE). or the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). Lorenz is not an accredited online university whose accreditation is from such an approved agency. The degree programs offered by a properly approved accredited universities are generally accepted and recognized by employers and other universities as well.

Answer 2

Lorenz is a fraud -- they are a clone of Belford University that was shut down. Please see the BBB report for Belford.

The International Accreditation Association for Online Education (IAAFOE) and the Accreditation Council for Distance Education (ACTDE) are bogus institutions created by Lorenz and the rest of their group of scamming schools

To understand the legitimacy of online education provider, you need to understand how accreditation works. In the United States, accredited online schools and colleges are considered legitimate and recognized. You also need to understand the programs a school is offering. If you understand the programs they are offering and their accreditation for these degrees then why would think that there is anything wrong there.
