Recognition and accreditation

Legal recognition

  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)

    Institutional accreditation — Accredited · since July 1, 1921 · next review 01/01/2032

    Recognized by: U.S. Department of Education

    Authority in United States

    Source: ope.ed.gov · verified October 10, 2026

Legal recognition is what allows an institution to award degrees in its own country. Business-school accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA and others) are voluntary quality reviews of the business school and do not automatically cover every program. None of these guarantees that a degree is recognized for employment or further study in every other country.

Online student services

Services the university publishes for online students. Availability can depend on program and enrollment status.

Who can enroll

Where online students may enroll from, as the institution publishes it. Eligibility, recognition notes and professional-body statements are separate questions.

International students

  • International applicants may apply; undergraduate applicants whose native language is not English submit proof of English proficiency and graduate applicants submit TOEFL or IELTS scores.
