University American Accreditation
At The Continents States University, we are working hard behind the scenes to complete American accreditation from agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. We’ll update the website as soon as we make progress in the process. We understand how valuable this step is to our students, but unfortunately, we can’t make any public announcements until we are authorized.
Why accreditation is important
Accreditation is a private, voluntary, non-governmental peer-review process that reviews an institution or program’s educational quality, and it’s a multi-year process to confirm that this institution has voluntarily undergone an extensive examination and self-study by a recognized accreditation and education quality body to ensure it demonstrates that the university meets the accreditation standards. Legitimate universities can obtain accredited status by clearly indicating their established mission, vision, values, and commitments to serve students and deliver quality education.
