Accreditation and Licenses

By the laws governing the great State of Hawaii we have to notify all students that no matter how many international accreditations we achieve we are until we finalize an accreditation recognized by the State of Hawaii having to state the following:

Western State University IS NOT ACCREDITED BY AN ACCREDITING AGENCY RECOGNIZED BY THE UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF EDUCATION.

Note:  In the United States, many licensing authorities require accredited degrees as the basis for eligibility for licensing.  In some cases, accredited colleges may not accept for transfer courses and degrees completed at unaccredited colleges, and some employers may require an accredited degree as a basis for eligibility for employment.

You can read more about the rules & regulations of running an unaccredited institution in Hawaii at:

Having said that, WSU is currently working towards a state recognized accreditation which if and when achieved will also cover our early graduates.

BUT as a group we are so lucky to have a large number of accreditations and partnerships.

To secure our students the optimal security we offer our students at all levels to obtain dual or triple degrees with our group partners in Denmark and Switzerland.

Our students are also given the option to obtain an UK recognized master level diploma as well as via top-up partners to obtain Bachelor and Master degrees from UK state universities.
