ONLINE UNIVERSITY COURSES
Bircham International University is a provider of non-formal or non-traditional education and online university courses do not follow the contents and requirements established by a Ministry of Education, thus BIU online university courses can not lead to degrees officially recognized by a Ministry of Education. The United States of America has no Federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary educational institutions and online university courses. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in character and quality of their online university courses. For this reason, accreditation becomes an important reference in the USA when it comes to evaluate a degree or online university courses.
