Mission Statement:

The New millennium Accrediting Partnership For Educators Worldwide, or N.A.P.F.E.W. is, as per our mandate a worldwide accreditation association founded in part to establish and promote a progressive set of international standards in higher education among distance learning or online colleges and universities worldwide.

While not a recognized regional accrediting agency as per the U.S. Department of Education criteria, N.A.P.F.E.W. (New Millennium Accrediting Partnership For Educators Worldwide) accreditation is intended to help ensure that degrees issued by a member organization possess the "potential for acknowledgment" they require to stand a chance of being accepted by institutions and companies here in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

Our guiding philosophy becomes self-evident when taken in the context of serving as an accrediting agency; "Education, knowledge, skill, ability and wisdom belong to the INDIVIDUAL…regardless of how or where he or she gained it."  N.A.P.F.E.W. is predicated upon the belief of Goodwill to humanity.  The practical application of goodwill is, Service.  We wish to provide a voice to those that have none.  Through a heightened consciousness and increased awareness brought about by education, it is our sincerest desire to help bring about a more humane, logical, and equitable approach to the problems facing the world and its various nations and peoples.

About Accreditation:

In the United States, accreditation is used to assure quality in schools or educational institutions and programs.  It should be noted that accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental process of review and evaluation.

NAPFEW recognition and accreditation: 

N.A.P.F.E.W. recognition is implicit by virtue of the acceptance of an individual that is the holder or recipient of a degree from an institution accredited by N.A.P.F.E.W.  In this way N.A.P.F.E.W. has been accepted or approved by numerous prestigious businesses and schools both internationally and in the United States.  N.A.P.F.E.W. accreditation of a school or degrees issued from said institution have been accepted or approved of by many foreign countries, governments and dignitaries.  Please note however that N.A.P.F.E.W. has not been recognized by one of the six regional accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education

Accreditation in the United States:

The following statements are taken verbatim from the U.S. Department of Education Website

The United States has no Federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary educational institutions in this country. The States assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in the character and quality of their programs.

Accreditation 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.  For these reasons, besides ascertaining the accredited status of a school or program, students should take additional measures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether or not their educational goals will be met through attendance at a particular institution.  These measures should include inquiries to institutions to which transfer might be desired or to prospective employers….

NAPFEW Organization:

N.A.P.F.E.W. is international in scope.  The New Millennium Accrediting Partnership For Educators Worldwide has affiliates or participating educational institutions in 7 countries on 4 continents.  NAPFEW will strive to make its services available to all who desire them and who meet our membership requirements.

NAPFEW will strive to maintain a flexible yet progressive, liberal set of standards commensurate with our founding philosophy.  This will in part be brought about by a high degree of acceptance from the more enlightened amongst us and from within the confines of the current political - social and educational - corporate world structure.

NAPFEW exists in part, to represent schools that cannot or CHOOSE not to receive traditional "accreditation,” and yet desire or strive to provide a quality service to the public.

Conclusion:

Any educational institution or organization is eligible to apply for membership in NAPFEW.  It is an empirically verifiable fact that many of the graduates from a NAPFEW accredited institution or program are among the highest caliber, most intelligent, talented, best-educated and most effective individuals you will find anywhere.

NAPFEW makes no promises, representations, nor guarantees of employment or acceptability of transfer credits to any public or private educational institution.  If you are seeking a University degree for a specific licensing, employment or additional educational purpose, we advise you to first check with the association, governmental agency, employer, or specific educational institution to determine the acceptability of a NAPFEW accredited degree program.

The programs and or institutions NAPFEW may currently accredit or may possibly accredit in the future are currently not designed to meet, any specific local, state, territorial, regional, or national licensing or credentialing laws.  Further, being non-traditional in nature, our programs are not designed to meet a particular requirement established by any private association, or "traditional" licensing or accrediting organization.

Title IV Note:  Accreditation by N.A.P.F.E.W. does not enable the entity it may accredit to establish eligibility to participate in any Title IV programs.

Per the U.S. Dept of Education:  As one of the “Functions of Accreditation” is:  “Providing one of several considerations used as a basis for determining eligibility for Federal (financial) assistance,” it should be noted that students enrolled in non-traditional schools not accredited by a U.S. Dept.of Education approved accrediting agency, are not eligible for Federal financial assistance.
