Unlike other countries, in the United States there is no national procedure for licensing or accrediting schools, colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning. Accreditation is voluntary and is not the function of the United States Department of Education.
In the U.S., each of the 50 states is empowered to establish its own policy for licensing and for enumerating the criteria for the awarding of diplomas and degrees. The IUE's programs are not designed to meet any particular local, state or national licensing or credentialing criteria, nor to meet any requirements established by independent professional associations. If licensing or credit transfer is the objective of the individual learner, they are advised to investigate the requirements of the particular company, organization, school, college, university or institution of higher learning in which they have an interest so that their program may be designed accordingly.
The International University of Entreprenology is fully accredited by the Commission on HIgher Education, World Association of Visioneers and Entreprenologists. The Commission is currently in the process of complying with the requirements set forth by the United States Department of Education for official recognition as an accrediting body. In the Department of Education code under Financial Aid for Post-Secondary Students, Accreditation in the United States, Sub-Part B, The Criteria for Recognition, Section 602.12 it states:
602.12 Accrediting Experience.
(a) An agency seeking initial recognition must demonstrate that it has--
(1) Granted accreditation or preaccreditation--
(i) To one or more institutions if it is requesting recognition as an institutional accrediting agency and to one or more programs if it is requesting recognition as a programmatic accrediting agency;
(ii) That covers the range of the specific degrees, certificates, institutions, and programs for which it seeks recognition; and
(iii) In the geographic area for which it seeks recognition; and
(2) Conducted accrediting activities, including deciding whether to grant or deny accreditation or preaccreditation, for at least two years prior to seeking recognition.
(b) A recognized agency seeking an expansion of its scope of recognition must demonstrate that it has granted accreditation or preaccreditation covering the range of the specific degrees, certificates, institutions, and programs for which it seeks the expansion of scope.
(Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1099b)
The Commission on Higher Education, upon completion and proper evaluation of accreditation procedures, granted accreditation to the IUE..
NOTE: Earning credits or a degree from a school, college, university or other institution of higher learning that is accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, does not carry with it the assurance that similarly accredited schools, colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning - even those accredited by the same accrediting body - will accept those transfer credits, courses and/or degrees. The decision to accept or reject transfer credits, courses and/or degrees is solely at the discretion of the institution to which application for transfer or continuation of education is made. Schools, colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning must be accredited by a recognized accrediting body if and only if it participates in federal educational grant and funding programs. Federal grants and student funds are not available to non-resident students. Accreditation by a recognized accrediting body is not and should not be construed as a certification of institutional quality by the United States Department of Education.
