Bircham International University is a school that offers college-level programs. It uses distance education, which means students learn from home, often online, instead of going to a physical campus. It focuses on programs for adults.
The university is officially registered in Spain and in Delaware, a state in the United States. In the past, it also operated from places like The Bahamas or the United Kingdom.
Bircham International University does not have a recognized educational accreditation in any of these places. Accreditation is like a seal of approval that shows a school meets certain quality standards. Many colleges and universities need this to be widely accepted.
About Accreditation
Accreditation is very important for schools. It means that an independent group has checked the school's programs and found them to be good quality. This helps students know that their degree will be respected by other schools and employers.
Bircham International University is a member of some organizations, like the European Foundation for Quality in eLearning. It is also part of the International Accreditation and Recognition Council. However, this council is not a recognized accreditation agency in the United States.
Bircham has stated that it was accredited by the American Association for Higher Education and Accreditation in 2010. But this organization is also not a recognized group for accrediting schools.
