Did Columbia Pacific University ever offer PhDs that could be completed in 27 Days?
Absolutely not!! This rumor was circulated in an AOL article in August of 2005. Such rumors are both false and libelous to CPU alumni. The AOL reporter had not done her homework and was actually referring to Columbia State, a notorious degree mill that advertised degrees in 27 days for almost 3 years in magazines such as USA Today. “Columbia State” was closed by officials back in the early 2000’s. Records indicated Columbia State had taken in over $32 million in revenue and had $16 million in a Caribbean bank. “Columbia State” was run out of Louisiana.
