The Education Committee of the Orthodox Church has given its recognition and support to ABMS Switzerland through a signed letter from the Archbishop and Chairman of the Education Committee, Bishop Clement of Irpin. As some humanities programs in Switzerland must be approved by the Church, ABMS is the first private university in the country to achieve this standard according to Swiss education law. There are around 2.5 billion Christians worldwide, with Orthodox Christians making up around 375 million or 15% of that population, being the dominant religion in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Greece, Serbia, and others.
