Recognized undergraduate degrees must be awarded from a regionally accredited university or college in the United States and should be based on a unit of credit comparable to that defined by the Arizona Board of Regents. Typically, that is a 4 year undergraduate Bachelor degree.
A degree cannot ordinarily be recognized if it is based on:
-
Credits awarded by post-secondary institutions in the United States that lack regional candidate status or accreditation. Please refer to the Council for Higher Education Accreditation for more detailed information.
-
Credits awarded by post-secondary institutions for life experience unless validated by the institution awarding the credits through the use of standardized or comprehensive examinations such as the College Level Examination Program or CLEP.
- Credits awarded by post-secondary institutions for courses taken at non-collegiate institutions such as governmental agencies, corporations, industrial firms, etc.
- Units awarded by post-secondary institutions for noncredit courses, workshops, and seminars offered by other post-secondary institutions as part of continuing education programs
