John Gray received his
degree in 1982 from Columbia Pacific University. The school
closed their doors in 2001. Prior to that date, according to
the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational
Education:
“CPU degrees awarded before June 25, 1997 are legally valid. Your degree, and any credential or license you received by virtue of the degree, should not be affected. CPU had legal approval to operate until June 25, 1997, and the degrees it issued before June 25, 1997 are legal.”
