| NOT AFFILIATED WITH CONCORDIA ''COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY'' IN DOMINICA
Accreditation, Good Legal Standing, Degree Granting Authority
To ensure your university's legitimacy, look for the institution in a federal or state government
database of accredited institutions. Your school needs to appear on one of these official .gov lists to be considered legitimate by employers, agencies and organizations.
Accreditation through a U.S. federal or state government agency (.gov) is the critical marker of quality and credibility in the field of education. It signifies that Concordia College & UniversityŽ degrees meet the highest level of standards, and that degrees are recognized and respected by employers, and by society as a whole.
Many universities or colleges are unaccredited, which means that their accreditation is not recognized by any U.S. government agency or organization. Concordia College & University® of Delaware, however, is listed as an accredited degree granting institution by
two such government agencies.
Concordia College & University® operates in Good Standing with the State of Delaware and with the U.S. Good Business Commission
; is listed as an accredited degree granting institution with
state .GOV agencies ; with
the World Intellectual Property Organization WIPO, and most notably with the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organization UNESCO. We are not affiliated with any Concordia 'college and university' in other states or countries.
UNESCO (www.unesco.org) is the United Nations official authority on higher education recognized by the United States Department of Education.
Established in 1999, Concordia College & University® has developed into a nationally accredited higher learning institution for truly wide-ranging studies. Concordia College & University® is accredited by the United States
National Academic Higher Education Agency. This is one of the oldest U.S. distance education regulatory agencies of national scope established in 1974 and a current or former member organization of :
1. CAEL Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education
2. UNESCO U.N. Educational and Scientific Organization, recognized by the Department of Education
3. EDUCAUSE.edu, recognized by the Department of Education.
View our full online history from 2000 until today. Type the name Concordia College & University in this State of Delaware database to confirm that Concordia is duly formed under Delaware Law.
Concordia College's accreditor, the U.S. National Academic Higher Education Agency is founded to foster and preserve high quality, educationally sound and widely accepted distance education standards and to provide a consistent measurement of the acceptability of private schools (K-12), adult high schools, vocational and technical schools, private colleges and postsecondary education. Concordia College & University's legal degree granting authority is fully governed by the institution's international IBC university operating license, based on U.S. Common Law and issued by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court.
All online schools are global and non-state-specific by nature. Concordia College & University is associated with The Technology Center Institute,
accredited by the State of Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Concordia College and University degrees have also been accredited internationally on a de facto basis by Government Departments of Education in other countries. Concordia College and University's accreditation in the United States does not enable our enrollees to participate in Title IV programs.
Title IV accreditation is the nearly 60 billion dollar congressionally approved annual money stream that flows from taxpayers to mainly state universities and community colleges, we are not one of them.
"This is a significant day for the university as we receive accreditation from a reputable U.S. agency of national scope," said Concordia College's founding director. "This affirmation of our strong commitment to providing our students with a rigorous and well rounded educational assessment program is another step in our growth as a university. I am grateful to our faculty, staff and administration for their diligence exhibited throughout the accreditation process."
The United States is the only known country in the world that has no Federal Ministry of Education and no centralized authority exercising national control over postsecondary educational institutions. In other words : it is a common misconception to believe that the U.S. government accredits universities or university degrees, it doesn't. Instead, accreditation in the United States is a voluntary process that is implemented only by non-governmental accrediting agencies. Generally, colleges and universities will request to be reviewed by the accreditation agency which has the standards that the institution thinks it can pass. Therefore, Concordia College & University's accreditation does not imply degree granting authority, recognition, or any other kind of involvement from and affiliation with any federal or Delaware agency. We do not solicit or accept funds from, or offer our services to : state agencies, companies, or residents of Delaware for any reason.

is not a "diploma mill" and degrees actually have proven their academic and professional value in today's highly competitive job marketplace.
Concordia College & University is continuously examining both private and governmental accrediting agencies and organizations worldwide, that are complementary to its goals and objectives.
Concordia College & University is an active member of the United Nations Association and the Business Council of the United Nations, New York. Our U.N. Association membership allows Concordia College & University graduates to be considered for a variety of part-time and full-time internships awarded by the U.N. Association to highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students.
Concordia College and University graduates receive one U.S. Educational Equivalency Certificate, required by the United States Office of Personnel Management, which recognizes your degree as the equivalent to any other regionally or nationally accredited college or university in the United States. One such certificate is included in all Concordia College graduation packages, at no extra charge to our enrollees.
Some states may however require that you graduate from a state or federally funded brick-and-mortar institution for professional licensing or promotion purposes, they may refuse to recognize out-of-state distance learning degrees. If you live in a jurisdiction that limits the use of your Concordia College degree for certain purposes, you are still allowed to legally own it as a novelty item. Always inquire with your local authorities before committing to any distance education establishment.
Keep in mind that a school's accreditation status
does not provide ''automatic acceptance'' by an institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of students or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer.
Students should take measures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether or not their educational goals will be met through enrollment at a particular institution. These measures should include inquiries to institutions to which future transfer might be desired or to prospective employers.
