William Howard Taft University

SCHOOL INFORMATION

 For decades William Howard Taft University has offered distance learning degree programs to students throughout the world.

The University is committed to providing a quality education responsive to the needs of society, now and into the future.

Valuing the rich variety of cultures and ethnic backgrounds in the world today, the University seeks students from all regions of the United States, and English-speaking students from around the world.

In 2008, The Taft University System separated William Howard Taft University’s Schools of Business and Education from its School of Law. While remaining under common control, Taft Law School is now an independent educational institution with its own catalog and website. All of the law school programs previously offered by William Howard Taft University, including the Juris Doctor Programs, are now offered through Taft Law School.

In June 2003, the University was awarded accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council. As a result of a review of a comprehensive self-study prepared by The Taft University System and a report prepared by the chairperson of a site review team, our accreditation was re-affirmed in 2008.

The mission and purpose of William Howard Taft University, a private independent postsecondary institution, is to offer unique and innovative distance learning educational programs at a reasonable cost to qualified applicants, with a particular focus on those who are mature adults, employed on a full-time basis, or for whom place of residence, travel requirements, or finances are constraining factors.
