Accelerated Online Degrees enjoy full recognition

The criteria which should be applied when determining the grade of acceptance attached to a certain degree in the academic or business world, largely depend on where the awarding institution and the holder are located. As a general rule, academic degrees conferred by an institution which is owned, chartered or otherwise recognized by a governmental entity and/or accredited by a recognized agency are widely accepted in most countries of the world. There are also country specific criteria which need to be considered when choosing a degree programme. Your consultant will apply the appropriate standards in order to ensure that the degree programmes he recommends to you do indeed fulfil all necessary requirements.

Today, even elite universities such as Cambridge, Berkeley, Harvard, and Stanford offer online degree programmes, a recent development which has completed the process of equalizing non-traditional and traditional education. “The schools say the new efforts target willing audiences, in many cases top-shelf, mid-career professionals who need advanced training to get a leg up in their careers. Often, taking a year off to do a traditional master's programme means uprooting a family, disrupting a steady income and falling behind on the job”, explains Wall Street Journal the motivation of highly selective institutions to offer external degree programmes.

In summary, the quality and status of a degree depends on the status of the institution conferring it and not on the way credit was earned toward the degree. Accelerated Online Degrees are as fully recognized as traditional degrees.
