I am pleased to hear that you are still considering UBIS for your on-line MBA. Please find below the information concerning UBIS accreditation.
Your Questions Concerning Accreditation:
UBIS is operated under the authorization of Geneva Cantonal Department of Education as a university with the legal right to grant both Bachelor degrees and Masters degrees to qualified students. Therefore UBIS provides a fully recognized Swiss university diploma (be it Bachelor or Master of Advanced Studies). This diploma is recognized because UBIS is officially approved as a private university by the Government of Geneva, Switzerland. Geneva has its own autonomous governmental office of education (similar to a national ministry), and its authority is recognized across the country. UBIS is not only registered as a private university with the Geneva Department of Education ('Department d'instruction public'), but we are obliged to report to the government office twice a year about the diploma programs and the faculty, as well as be ready anytime to report to auditors.
Our programs are set up to meet both the requirements of American universities and European universities via the Bologna Accord. UBIS is presently developing partnerships with universities in the USA and elsewhere in the world, which would allow students to study for a semester in another schools and thus obtain broader international experience. UBIS follows the American course development and course content principles that are prescribed by accreditation agencies such as the Middle States Accreditation commission in the USA. This is to guarantee that courses are taught according to the best USA academic standards and that the materials that students learn are accordingly rigorous and demanding. Knowing this should help any student find future studies or employment in the USA or elsewhere in countries that observe the same high educational standards. Please see our website, for more information and please note that we have received Eduqua certification in July 2009, and are members of both IACBE and ECIS giving us affiliations with Swiss and European institutions
Our sister school, Potomac College, has Middle States regional accreditation in the USA and is the provider of the online courses for UBIS students. Potomac College has a articulation agreement with UBIS whereby UBIS students can be jointly enrolled as Potomac college students to enable the granting of US credit hours. Therefore, as a participant of this program, students will simultaneously receive 3 credits for each online course from both UBIS and Potomac College, Washington, DC, USA. By taking the required 123 credits online with UBIS, students will receive both the UBIS undergraduate degree, recognized in Switzerland and the Potomac College Undergraduate degree with US accreditation upon successful completion of the student's studies.
Qualifying on ground students are also eligible for the double diploma by transferring their on ground credits to Potomac College and on the condition they take their final 10 classes either on-line or on ground at Potomac.
A UBIS diploma allows students to apply to schools all over Switzerland, Europe or USA or anywhere in the world to continue his or her studies. As the diploma is fully recognized in Switzerland, other schools in the world can recognize the validity of the UBIS diploma. However, every school determines on its own the other schools from where it will accept students, and no school can demand from another school that its diplomas must be recognized. Hence, UBIS cannot demand other schools to recognize its diplomas. However, recognition is not merely a matter of formal recognition, it is also a question of student presentations in their subsequent applications to other schools. High academic performers always find new / next schools to move on to and have the intellectual capacity to show to their new school that their past studies were legitimate and sincere.
A diploma from a Swiss recognized university is respected in most countries around the world. Should any future employer have any doubts about a former student's application for a job, direct contact can always be made with UBIS to confirm that the former student did indeed complete his/her studies.
I hope this has helped answer some of your questions and I look forward to perhaps receiving your application in the not so distant future:
