If you go to the IJCR website you will see that the institute is an accredited graduate school for science educators. I won't bother posting the full accreditation page here, but the following should be enough to scare most of you:
"The ICR Graduate School was approved by the State of California Department of Education for the Master of Science Degree programs in Astro/Geophysics, Biology, Geology, and Science Education. This approval was granted on the recommendation of an Evaluation Committee from the Office of Private Post-secondary Education (OPPE), and became effective July 1, 1981. Approval was renewed on various occasions since then and was extended to 1992 by the Council for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. In 1995 the Council confirmed that ICR/GS met the terms of California Education Code 94303(B)(2) for exemption from state approval. This exemption was retroactive back to 1992 and extended to the end of calendar year 1996. Since that time, a new education law was enacted in 1997. The exemption continues under the new organization, Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education under the Department of Consumer Affairs through 2007."
