- Why should we believe WUaS? (i.e. what is your track record)
 
World University and School just received the 'green light' from the state of California to begin the accreditation process in May 2014.
 
WUaS incorporated in 2010 as an educational organization in California, and received federal, 501 (c) (3) tax exempt status in 2011, and has approximately 580 wiki, subject pages. Accreditation, first in California and with BPPE and WASC senior is a three stage process, where WUaS must graduate its first undergraduate class before receiving full accreditation in 2018. WUaS has a long track record of institutionalizing as an online, startup, MIT OCW-centric university and long term goals and plans.
