Is ��ϴ��¼� an accredited university?

Yes. In February 2014 Uo��ϴ��¼� received accreditation from the Distance Education Accrediting Commission. The Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a recognized accrediting agency. The Distance Education Accrediting Commission is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). In addition, Uo��ϴ��¼� has been recognized as a Candidate for Accreditation by WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). For more details, see our Accreditation page.

Who is your academic leadership?

Our Academic Leaders, from our Deans, to our Provosts, to our Advisory Boards, are distinguished professionals who utilize their vast knowledge and experience to guide the academic programs of the University. They come from top universities and industry-leading organizations around the world, including NYU, Princeton, Harvard, Facebook, International Baccalaureate, and many more.

Will a Uo��ϴ��¼� degree be accepted by other Universities or potential employers?

Our accreditation is a clear indication of the academic excellence and rigorous standards of Uo��ϴ��¼�. That being said, we can't guarantee that our degrees or credits will be accepted by other international academic institutions or employers, since this is determined by each institution individually. Many of our students and graduates report continuing their education at universities including NYU, MIT, the University of Auckland (New Zealand), the University of Nairobi (Kenya), Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) and many more. Uo��ϴ��¼� graduates have used their education to work at top international companies and organizations such as Google, IBM, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, Amazon and even the United Nations.

Why are there fees if you are tuition-free?

Our mission to provide affordable, tuition-free education for everybody. ��ϴ��¼� is tuition-free, which means there is no charge for teaching or instruction. To help support our continued operation, Uo��ϴ��¼� charges a $60 application fee, and an Assessment Fee per course completed ($120 for the undergraduate programs, $200 for certificate programs, and $300 for the graduate programs). No annual enrollment fees, and no cost for course material. If you can't afford even these fees, scholarships are available.

What are the costs for books, material fees, etc.?

��ϴ��¼� does not charge students to take classes, for any reading or study materials, or for annual enrollment. We use open educational resources to provide readings to students at no cost, and offer access to library resources through the Library Information and Resources Network (LIRN) and JSTOR available to students for free.
