All online schools are global and non-state-specific by nature. Concordia College & University is associated with the The Technology Center Institute,
accredited by the State of Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Concordia College and University has also been accredited internationally, by Government Departments of Education in Asia and Latin America. Concordia College and University's national accreditation in the United States does not enable our enrollees to participate in Title IV programs. Title IV funding is the nearly 60 billion dollar congressionally approved annual money stream that flows from taxpayers to mainly state universities and community colleges, we are not one of them.

''This is a significant day for the university as we receive accreditation from a U.S. national agency,'' said Concordia College's founding director. ''This affirmation of our strong commitment to providing our students with a rigorous and well rounded educational assessment program is another step in our growth as a university. I am grateful to our faculty, staff and administration for their diligence exhibited throughout the accreditation process.''
The United States is the only known country in the world that has no Federal Ministry of Education and no centralized authority exercising national control over postsecondary educational institutions. In other words : it is a common misconception to believe that the U.S. government accredits universities or university degrees, it doesn't. Degree granting colleges and universities in the United States are under no legal obligation to apply for any type of recognition or accreditation. Instead, accreditation is a voluntary process that is implemented by private nongovernmental accrediting agencies. Concordia College & University's accreditation status does not imply affiliation with or approval from any U.S. government agency. Click to learn more about the ins and outs of accreditation in the United States.
Accreditation means that an independent group of college and university administrators in the United States has certified that the college's curriculum, degree-by-assessment programs and faculty conform to standards within the field of higher education. Essentially, it means Concordia College and University is not a ''diploma mill'' and degrees actually have proven their academic and professional value in today's highly competitive job marketplace.
Concordia College & University is continuously examining both private and governmental accrediting agencies and organizations worldwide, that are complementary to its goals and objectives.
Concordia College & University is an active member of the United Nations Association and the Business Council of the United Nations, New York. Our U.N. Association membership allows Concordia College & University graduates to be considered for a variety of part-time and full-time internships awarded by the U.N. Association to highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students. At the time of your graduation, if you require an apostille certification, we provide you with full information for contacts to an agency that will obtain your apostille from the U.S. Department of State.
Concordia College and University graduates receive an official U.S. Educational Equivalency Certificate, required by the United States Office of Personnel Management, which recognizes your degree as the equivalent to any other regionally or nationally accredited college or university in the United States. One such certificate is included in all Concordia College graduation packages, at no extra charge to our enrollees.
Concordia College & University is rated a top-10 online university in the authoritative Online University Review. Some states may however require that you graduate from a local brick-and-mortar state college for professional licensing purposes, they may refuse to recognize out-of-state distance learning degrees. Inquire with your local authorities before committing to any distance education establishment.
Keep in mind that accreditation does not provide ''automatic acceptance'' by an institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of students or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer. Learn more about how to get admitted to a traditional brick-and-mortar university.
