Accreditation
Hong
Kong employers generally recognize degrees from US colleges and
universities that are regionally accredited. If the school you
plan to attend is not accredited by one of the six regional accrediting
bodies listed below, you are advised to conduct further research
before attending the school. Schools that are accredited by specialized/professional
or independent accrediting organizations recognized by the U.S.
Education Department, such as theological schools/seminaries,
may also be recognized by employers in Hong Kong. It is the responsibility
of the student and prospective employer(s) to decide the value
of any degree.
Official
directories of schools recognized by accrediting bodies recognized
by the U.S. Department of Education are available on the following
