European-American University offers degrees based on your past experience through the Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience (Validation of Acquired Experience or VAE) process, which is based on French law enacted in 2002 that established the robust VAE framework for experience-based degrees.

How can I get a degree without doing any coursework? Are these real degrees?
We offer real degrees under the authority French legislation has granted private higher education institutions in France to offer degrees based on past work experience and prior education, which is called the validation des acquis de l’expérience (validation of acquired experience or VAE) process. In fact, the French Social Modernization Law of 2002 requires all French higher education institutions to award degrees based on past experience.
If I have credits or a degree from prior higher education, can you accept those?
Yes, we will include any prior education you may have, including any credits or previous degrees that you already have, when determining which degrees you qualify for. For those without any prior education, the degree will be based only on work experience.
Will Employers Accept My Degree as Valid?
Our graduates have generally enjoyed very wide acceptance of the degrees we have awarded to them, and many credential evaluators recognize our degrees as valid. Adding a degree from European-American University to your résumé can greatly enhance your appeal as a job candidate by showcasing a widely recognized and respected credential. Our degrees are recognized and accepted by a wide variety of businesses, governments, and universities throughout the world. Furthermore, many of our graduates have successfully secured employment and advanced in their careers, benefiting from the recognition and credibility provided by degrees from our institution.
Will my diploma indicate that I got my degree based on my life-experience without doing coursework?
Absolutely not. The French Social Modernization Law of 2002 prohibits French universities from disclosing on diplomas that a degree was obtained via the life-experience/VAE process. This ensures that students with VAE degrees based on life experience are not discriminated against or treated differently.
Do you offer a payment plan?
The University does not offer a payment plan directly, but students in some regions can take advantage of the PayPal “Pay Later” option which enables spreading out the payments over a period of up to 24 months. Additionally, we accept credit cards though PayPal so students can pay in-full now and pay off their credit card bill over time.
