Legal Status of European-American University
European-American University is an international non-governmental organization operating chiefly through the medium of the Internet and bringing together a worldwide network of campuses and individuals in administration, faculty and student relationships. The adjunct faculty and administration are located in various countries and degrees may be conferred in different jurisdictions where permitted by law.
European-American University makes degree awards under several different legal authorities, depending on the field of the degree and the preference of the student. The University holds a Royal Charter of Incorporation awarded by the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom which is located in Uganda. Certain degrees in religious areas are additionally awarded under the statutory provision for religious degree-awarding institutions in the State of Florida, USA (as European-American University and Theological Seminary) and certain other US states. The University is established as a private provider of higher education in France (as the Ecole Supérieure Euro-Américaine). Further detailed information on accreditation and legal status is provided in this website on the Status page.
By making application, the applicant confirms that they understand that all credentials granted by European-American University are granted on the overseas basis explained above.
It is the responsibility of the prospective student to ensure that the credential they are seeking meets their present and anticipated future needs and to make enquiries of any third party from whom they might seek acceptance of their credential before enrolling.
Comparability of academic titles and standards of European-American University
European-American University is a wholly independent and autonomous body maintaining its own academic standards. Even where its degree titles are the same or similar to those conferred by other institutions in other jurisdictions, the University does not warrant any comparability of standards or requirements. The title of professor awarded by the University is held on an honorary basis. The title of doctor or its abbreviation Dr does not signify that the holder is a Doctor of Medicine unless specific medical credentials are listed, and is not awarded by a United States, European Union or United Kingdom university unless specifically listed as such. In some cases the title of doctor may signify the holder of an honorary doctorate. Fellows, officers and faculty of the University may hold degrees or doctorates from non-United States, European Union and United Kingdom universities which may or may not be accredited by a government-approved body.
Faculty, officers, not employees
No person holding an office such as professor, fellow, tutor, director of studies, dean etc. is an employee of European-American University. All persons providing academic or administrative services to European-American University do so on a self-employed consultancy basis or through their own independent organizations. The position of fellow of the University is honorary and does not necessarily engage the University in any obligation to offer the person concerned tutorial or examining work.
Status of European-American University in the United States of America
European-American University and Theological Seminary is not accredited or licensed by any agency recognised by the federal or state governments of the United States of America, and operates under a religious exemption from the licensing of postsecondary degree-granting institutions. In the United States of America, many federal, state and private organisations require U.S.-accredited degrees. In these situations it is the responsibility of the individual concerned to establish whether or not a foreign degree will be an acceptable alternative. European-American University and Theological Seminary makes no representations concerning the acceptance of its degrees in the United States of America.
Status of European-American University in the United Kingdom
European-American University is not a United Kingdom university, and does not hold a United Kingdom Royal Charter or Act of Parliament. Its degrees are not United Kingdom degrees and are conferred under foreign degree-granting authority as detailed above. European-American University makes no representations concerning the acceptance of its degrees in the United Kingdom.
In conformity with section 214 of the Education Reform Act 1988, the University is a foreign institution as classified under subsection 10(b) of s.214.
Licensing of campuses
European-American University’s International Partners (affiliated campuses) generally hold governmental licensing to operate and run the programmes they offer, or are subject to statutory exemption in the various countries concerned. Please contact the campus concerned for details. No International Partner is owned or controlled by the University.
Relationship to other institutions
European-American University has no relationship, affiliation or association to any other institution, whether educational in nature or not, bearing the name “European-American” or any other similar name.
