One detail matters for prospective students. The university holds candidacy for accreditation from the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE), granted in July 2024 with the candidacy period running through July 31, 2029. Candidacy is an early step toward accreditation and is not the same as being accredited. Anyone considering enrollment should understand that distinction and ask the school directly about its current status.
The school’s programs include business administration, healthcare administration, and organizational leadership, aimed at students seeking career advancement. Flexible formats let students balance coursework with work, as described in the benefits of flexible online learning. Before choosing any school, compare tuition models through a breakdown of annual tuition models, and read how credible online master’s degrees are considered today.
