Article was created as an advert in 2014. Most substantive edits since have been promotional and likely UPE. No reliable sources are cited. I was unable to find any that cover the subject in depth, though there appear to be a few books and papers written by people who attended this institution so it's probably worth discussion.

- Delete - This is a mixed bag. I tend to consider independent degree awarding colleges notable, and commonly deletion discussions find most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions have enough coverage to be notable, although that coverage may not be readily available online. That being said, I usually expect two solid secondary sources before voting keep. In exceptional circumstances, even one might be sufficient. Nothing at all appears to exist here. We also need to be cognisant of the fact being a degree awarding institution is a relatively low bar to meet these days and not every degree awarding institution ought to be covered. I tend to lean toward the general notability guideline here, and even unofficial advice on colleges refers editors back to GNG. There simply is not enough coverage out there by secondary, reliable sources to meet the sigcov requirement. There is also the issue of copyright violation. There is a significant amount of this article copied or closely paraphrased directly from the subject's website. I actually think this is almost eligible for a speedy delete on G12 grounds. Once we remove the offending text, there is not much non-infringing content worth saving. At a minimum, I do think the fact that most of the content is from the official website with little else out there to provide much more than a sentence or two proves this article is not suitable for inclusion.
