Does anyone have any information on the credibility of this school?

Stay away from it. It has been around for as long as Ross and SGU but has earned a bad reputation. Rather that maintain even a neutral indifferent reputation over the years, it has gotten into problems.

Spartan's MD has been officially unrecognized and invalidated in more states than probably any other school.

avoid. It's one of those toy medical schools.

I ran across an old article that is pretty harsh on the school. While I can't comment on the validity of their points, this may give you an idea of how it is perceived by the general public:
