Note that in the United States and abroad, some licensing authorities require accredited
degrees as the basis for eligibility for licensing. However, special note be taking that
accreditation does not determine the quality of teaching and does not evaluate the potential of
a student. In some cases, accredited colleges may not accept transfer courses and degrees
completed at unaccredited colleges and some employers may require an accredited degree as a
basis for eligibility for employment. Potential students, therefore, should consider how the
above may affect their interests before they enroll with KIU. At KIU we respect the unique
rules and regulations of each country and do not seek to influence the respective authorities.
In the event that a prospective student wishes to carry out any government review or
process in regards to his university degree, we recommend that the requirements of such
