Accreditation

Blue Marble University Is Internationally Accredited As Well As
Certified Equivalent to U.S Colleges and Universities

Blue Marble University Ltd. is incorporated as a domestic corporation in the Commonwealth of Dominica with the power to operate a university and to issue degrees upon  the completion of program curricula. As such, Blue Marble University is recognized in Dominica, even though Dominica has no accrediting agency for solely distance education institutions with no campus.

Although Blue Marble University holds an international accreditation  by a well respected international  accreditor: International Quality Assurance for Higher Education (QAHE for short).  QAHE is indirectly recognized by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)  through its arrangements with the World Accreditation Commission (WAC).

You can learn more about QAHE Here:  https://www.qahe.org and you may visit QAHE and verify our accreditation at this link: Blue Marble University Accreditation Link

Blue Marble University now accredited by a prominent international university accreditor, QAHE, Quality Assurance in Higher Education. This shows that Blue Marble University, which is located in the Commonwealth of Dominica is fully accredited.

Blue Marble University Certificate of Recognition. June 26, 2021. Be it known that the Academic Board has evaluated the Curricula of Blue Marble University, Roseau, Commonwealth of Dominica, and finds the Curricula equivalent to that of regionally accredited universities in the United States of America. The world’s foremost authority on foreign education credentials, CUFCE, has passed upon the doctoral program offerings of Blue Marble University and found them equivalent to US colleges and university. The equivalency of Blue Marble University doctoral degrees to US collegesa nd universities now certified by CUFCE, the leading authority on foreign education review. Blue Marble University now accredited by CUFCE, California University Foreign Credential Evaluation Service, as being the same as any regionally accredited US college or university

The above Certificate of Recognition states: Be it known that the Academic Board has evaluated the Curricula of Blue Marble University, Roseau, Commonwealth of Dominica, and finds the Curricula equivalent to that of regionally accredited universities in the United States of America.

Note: Our Equivalency Certificate is ONLY issued by California University Foreign Credential Evaluation Service (CUFCE.org), accepted by both the United States Department of State for military and immigration matters; and accepted for federal employment by the US Office of Personnel Management. If for some reason, you need to use a different service for your review, then most likely our programs are not for you. We only offer certification by CUFCE.org. There is wide variation among other reviewers as to cost and result.

California University Foreign Credential Evaluation Service  is a member of The American Evaluation Association recommended by the United States Department of Education. California University FCE does not issue college degrees per se, but degree equivalency, which requires the same scope and breadth of knowledge as someone who has actually completed a nationally or regionally accredited college program. 

Lost in the haze of the accreditation blizzard is the fact that accreditation is only required to obtain student loans, not for anything else. The main value to attending an accredited institution is that you will qualify for federal loan programs which you will need to pay for it!!  Only “accredited” institutions qualify for USA student loans. This is totally irrelevant to Blue Marble University,  whose tuition fees are so low, you don’t need a student loan. 

Does this mean everyone will accept your credentials?? No.  Sometimes even online degrees from USA accredited colleges are not accepted. And whether your Blue Marble University courses are accepted for transfer to another college or university depends on their  policies, so check into this if it may be important to you. Blue Marble University course credits are NOT generally accepted for programs leading to any licensed professions.
