Chapter VI · Common questions
Before you apply.
The answers most working learners ask first — collected and updated by admissions.
Is the degree fully online — or are there required visits?
Every part of this program is delivered online. Lectures are recorded for asynchronous study, live cohort rooms run across multiple timezones, and assessments are completed through the student portal. No in-person attendance is required to enroll, study, or graduate.
How is the diploma issued and verified?
A physical diploma is mailed to the address on file once the degree is conferred. A verifiable digital credential is also published to our certificate verification portal — anyone can confirm authenticity using the document number and the student’s name.
Can I transfer credits in or out?
Yes. Credits earned at accredited institutions are evaluated against the curriculum on a course-by-course basis. Outgoing credits are ECTS-aligned and accepted by partner universities for graduate study or transfer.
What is the time commitment per week?
A typical full-time term load is 12 credit hours and runs about 18–22 hours of study per week, including recorded lectures, readings, and assignments. Part-time pacing is supported — you set the load each term within your degree window.
What support do online students receive?
Each student is paired with an academic advisor at admission. You also have access to the digital library, an alumni mentor network, and admissions video sessions across timezones for any administrative question — every channel is online.
Is the program accredited?
Yes. The full list of accrediting bodies and partner memberships is maintained on our accreditation page and reviewed annually. The page is the canonical source — please refer to it for the most current accreditors.
