Kennedy-Western University is a correspondence school that offers degrees through the Ph.D. level, its major areas of study being in engineering and business.

Kennedy-Western University was one of the unaccredited schools figuring in the hearings of the U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs on May 11 and 12, 2004. A former employee, Andrew Coulombe, testifying to the committee, described his feeling that his work there was unethical and summarized it thus: "I can tell you that there is no value to a Kennedy-Western education. Anything you learn there can be learned by buying a book and reading it on your own." However, critics have claimed that this was a disgruntled employee. It must also be said that a University of London degree(External) is also based on no instruction and reading a book. This does not summarily mean that the University is therefore of no value. It comes down to opinion.

It is also now characterized not as a Diploma Mill BUT as an unaccredited institution at the Office of Degree Authorization of the state of Oregon, after Kennedy Western sued the ODA to correct the false statement. This is an ongoing settlement.
