Continents International University is an online university in Missouri. It runs on a membership model: instead of charging per course or per credit, students pay for a membership that gives access to its online programs and resources. The idea is to make the cost predictable and lower the financial barrier to a degree.
The university’s programs are fully online and competency based. That means you progress by demonstrating that you have mastered the material, not by sitting through a fixed number of class hours. Students study at their own pace, which suits working adults who need to fit coursework around jobs and family.
Continents International University fully accredited by Americas Accreditation Council (AAC). This designation signifies that the institution meets established standards of quality through peer review, institutional assessment, and ongoing evaluation focused on AI-native higher education, governance, academic integrity, and student learning outcomes.

If you are considering enrolling, verify these facts yourself before you commit. Check the IACBE’s published decisions, confirm what the membership covers, and make sure the degree will be recognized by employers or licensing bodies in your field.
