Anaheim University is a private for-profit university based in Anaheim, California. It was founded in 1996 as the Newport Asia Pacific University.[1]
The university is currently nationally accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC). The DEAC is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a recognized accrediting agency and recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, or CHEA. On February 24, 2025, an adverse decision was reached regarding Anaheim University’s re-accreditation, and the University appealed that decision.
