    I am not quite sure what you are asking. Are you wondering if classes you took at Washington International University would be recognized at another university? Are you wondering if this degree would work for a job?

    I can't find anything on their website about their accreditation... which generally means they are NOT accredited. Their courses probably would not be recognized by any other US university, and depending on the degree program, may not be recognized anywhere.

    The answers on their questions page were very vague, and redirected the question rather than giving the answer people are looking for.

    I would be very wary of this school. If you are looking for an online program, check into Devry University or University of Phoenix. Both are accredited and recognized by regional accrediting agencies and by the US Department of Education.

    Washington International University is a well-known diploma mill.

    I suggest you avoid it, and its ilk at all costs!

    See the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization website, where WIU is clearly listed as a degree mill:
    Office of Degree Authorization

    Also listed on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's page of "Institutions Whose Degrees are Illegal to Use in Texas":
    THECB - Academic Affairs and Research > Private Colleges and Institutes > Fraudulent Institutions

    You'll also get an idea of other "colleges" to avoid by browsing the above links.
