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. The
accreditation process requires an educational institution or program to
meet certain, defined standards or criteria as set forth by the accrediting
body. These standards change from State to State, and from region to region.
These standards also change with time. In fact, thankfully and partly
because of our country's heritage and Constitution (re: "freedom
of choice") there are no two Universities that have the same structure,
philosophies, teaching modalities or evaluation criteria. This can act
to give or permit a certain degree of freedom.
University of Berkley and its graduates or degree holders experience
a universally high acceptance rate.
Without doubt, many of our students/graduates are among the highest
caliber, most intelligent, talented, best-educated and most effective
individuals you will find anywhere. They, and their UofB degrees, are
equal to their counterparts from traditional schools anywhere in the world.
The University of Berkley is not accredited by one of the seven regional
accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education.
The University is not accredited by any accrediting agency recognized
by the United States Department or Secretary of Education. The University
of Berkley is however fully accredited by NAPFEW
(New
Millennium Accrediting Partnership For Educators Worldwide). Please
click the link and read about their accreditation program. Currently NAPFEW
is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. With the rate at
which our constantly evolving social consciousness is developing we feel
that eventually this situation will change.
Accreditation or acceptance by NAPFEW is intended to help ensure that
degrees issued by University of Berkley possess the "potential for
acknowledgment" they require to stand the best chance of being fully
accepted by institutions and companies here in the United States and elsewhere
in the world.
It should be noted for the record that MANY educators, teachers
and professors as well as School District Administrators (both in the
private and public sectors) have their degrees from the University of
Berkley. Please see: http://uofb.com/alumni.html
for a more inclusive list of alumni, including prestigious world famous
schools, businesses, diplomats, dignitaries, domestic and foreign governments.
University of Berkley can even count an American President among its impressive
roster of degree holders. Increasingly we are seeing a changing attitude
of public opinion in favor of quality non-traditional distance and online
education.
Our programs are 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 other accrediting organization.
Although our graduates do quite well in the job market and with acceptance
by other schools, the University of Berkley 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 of Berkley 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.
"What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it! Boldness
has genius, power and magic in it."
