Preston University has been chartered by the Government of NWFP - through Ordinance no LII(52)] of 2004, and is listed in Higher Education Commission’s website of Recognized and Chartered Public and Private Universities in Pakistan.[1]
However, Pakistan's Higher Education Commission has issued a "Public Alert on Substandard Private Universities" and lists "Preston University, Karachi" as operating unlawfully within the country.[5] 然而,巴基斯坦高等教育委员会公布了“关于不合格私立大学的公共警告”,“卡拉奇普拉斯顿大学”因非法运营名列其中。 The Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization lists Preston University as not accredited nor authorized to issue degrees.[6] 俄勒冈州学位授予办公室将普莱斯顿大学列为没有资格和授权授予学位的学校。 According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Preston University has "No accreditation from a CB recognized accreditor. DBA, or connected with, Universiteit Preston Russel Hobbes in the Netherlands. No degree-granting authority from The Netherlands."[7]
