How do I verify if my study-abroad university is accredited?

To verify a study-abroad university’s accreditation, start by checking the institution’s official website for accreditation details. Look for seals or links from recognized accrediting bodies.

Cross-reference this information with the accrediting agency’s website to confirm its legitimacy. In the U.S., consult the Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Programs. For other countries, use government education portals or ENIC-NARIC for European institutions.

Contact the university’s admissions office for documentation if needed. Avoid unverified sources, as accreditation ensures quality and recognition of your degree.
