Patten University, now an online institution based in Oakland, traces its roots to 1944, when evangelist Bebe Patten began a crusade in the city that led to the Oakland Bible Institute. Wikipedia describes it as moving from a nonprofit, sectarian school to a for-profit, secular one under UniversityNow beginning in 2012, and athletics ended after 2011-12. A California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education notice dated February 10, 2026 recorded an inspection at 2433 Coolidge Avenue in Oakland and cited its 2025 catalog, which shows it was still operating. WSCUC lists it as active and accredited, with a most recent action in 2015, while a state filing names the Distance Education Accrediting Commission, so accreditor claims conflict. Programmes include online degrees in leadership, psychology and business administration, plus master's programmes in project management and leadership. Confirm accreditation and fees directly.
