Full Accreditation with USHEAC

TIU has gained Full Accreditation with the United States Higher Education Accreditation Commission, (USHEAC) for a period of five years. https://www.usheac.org/non-profit-higher-education-organization-membership

USHEAC is a nonprofit, public benefit NGO in the State of California, United States of America.
It serves as a cohesive entity that brings together higher education accreditation agencies, universities, and colleges striving for recognition from both the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

USHEAC is a subsidiary of California University FCE-Amorsolo Foundation Incorporated. Its acceptance by the California Department of Education, California State Board of Education, U.S. Department of Education and numerous international universities is based on its evaluation and assessment of U.S. unaccredited university curriculum, academic programs, and faculty credentials. The evaluation is an integral part of the university’s documentation process for its application for regional accreditation, which precedes submission to any of the seven U.S Regional Accreditation Commissions.

Achieving accreditation from USHEAC signifies to the public that the recipient has met the rigorous quality assurance standards set by both the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

It is crucial to highlight that graduates of institutions accredited by the United States Higher Education Accreditation Commission (USHEAC) will be granted U.S. equivalent degrees by California University FCE following a thorough course evaluation and assessment. These degrees are comparable in level and purpose to those awarded by regionally accredited universities in the United States of America.

The equivalency degrees offered by California University FCE have garnered acceptance from numerous Ministries of Education globally, recognized as on par with degrees from accredited universities in their respective countries. In a memo dated March 4, 2017, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education, Tertiary Education, Science & Technology stated that the equivalency degrees from California FCE “are recognized and equivalent to degrees awarded by any Nigerian University in a similar field of study and have the strength, capacity and worth necessary to practice a profession, teach, train and conduct research in any tertiary educational institution.”
