Can we get a real college out here? One that has proper regional accrediting so the credits are transferrable to other colleges, mayhaps?
As for this little venture, it’s little more than yet another Rex & Co. scam that they managed to sell off to some sucker from out of town. Apparently, they’ve got to go pretty far to find one, so their rep must be getting around…

ACE says
OK THEN… SINGAPORE ISN’T A PART OF RED CHINA…

WHY WOULD SOME SINGAPORE COMPANY WANT IT..?
AND GENERALLY SPEAKING, IF IT’S SOMETHING GOING IN LANCASTER OR PALMDALE IT MIGHT BE FISHY SMELLING…
