Manly Hall's own words lay a blueprint for the future. He wrote:

"Education at any age is a lifelong dedication to the improvement of character and the enlargement of understanding. There is no reason why PRS should not be remembered like Plato's Academy. But, if it is to continue, the Society must make use of the most advanced technology available. I now envision a university of the mind and think that through proper organization we can bring this message of enlightened living to a much greater audience throughout the world." - Manly P. Hall

It is with great satisfaction that we are able to report that the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) has unanimously approved the University of Philosophical Research for full national accreditation and offered UPR high praise for its innovative degree programs.

The DETC is located in Washington, D.C., and was founded in 1926. It is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a national accreditation agency.

All of our professors, staff, and students have helped pioneer this great work. Now, a new day has arrived for us all, full of the promise of very good seeds having been gathered and carefully planted. You all share in this labor and this birth, and we are very grateful for what you have helped us achieve together.

Thank you,
