Professional Affiliations & Other
Wexford University is a private university licensed to Memberships
operate by the (BPPE) Bureau for Private Postsecond-
ary Education (California Education Code 94900 mid/or
94915). The University was founded in 1999, originally
under the name Optimal Performance Institute, and has
been continuously approved by the State of California to
offer undergraduate and graduate level degrees. School
Code: 4306651
In accordance with the provisions of California Educa-
tion Code 94900 mid/or 94915, this institution had re-
ceived approval to operate from the Bureau for Private
Postsecondary Education. That approval to operate meant
that the Bureau determined and certified that the institu-
tion met the minimum standards for integrity, financial
stability, and educational quality, including the offering
of bona fide instruction by qualified faculty and the ap-
propriate assessment of students’ achievement prior to,
during, and at the end of its programs.
To earn approved status in California, a degree-granting
institution must undergo a qualitative review and assess-
ment of programs offered and of all institutional policies,
procedures, and operations. The assessment is conducted
by a comprehensive on-site review process performed by
a qualified visiting committee composed of educators and
other appropriate experts.
Most countries do not have independent organizations
for which schools can seek accreditation. Rather, they
are granted status by a government agency such as what
the state of California and the Department of Education
requires. In the United States, the Department of Edu-
cation does not require accreditation by any accrediting
body, nor is accreditation governed by the government.
U.S. accreditation organizations are a private institution-
alized board which grants a peer review status and ap-
proval to universities that pursue this course of action on
a voluntary basis. The biggest benefit is federal funding
for schools. Please note that regardless of accreditation,
