There is demand for specialized
advanced courses in higher and professional education
for those who have missed the opportunity to obtain a professional
qualification through the traditional route at an affordable
cost. We aim to be the global leader in providing and expanding
access to higher education for independent learners worldwide
who choose to pursue education via non-traditional means.
We cater for the needs of citizens of developed and especially
developing countries who find it difficult to integrate into
traditional means of education.
Unlike our flexible programs, the majority of universities
and colleges stick to old dogma and their courses are too
academic and fall short from what industry requires. ICUA
encourages candidates to undertake a study plan related to
their current employment. ICUA's programs are uniquely designed
to accommodate candidates from various fields at an affordable
cost. Most importantly, exemptions are given for prior learning
and experience.
ICUA is formed by reputed academics to conduct professional
degree programs. ICUA believes that the continuing education
for mature persons is important and a special study program
has been designed to facilitate those interested in obtaining
a professionally relevant qualification in their respective
field of employment or experience. |

Unlike other traditional
universities, the entry qualification is broadened to
accommodate mature candidates with prior learning and
experience. The ICUA is similar to an open-university
study plan through its various faculties worldwide.
Candidates will be awarded credit units based on experiential
and prior learning, similar to the Credit Assessment
and Transfer Scheme (CATS) and Accreditation for Prior
Experiential Learning (APEL) in the UK, which are designed
to acknowledge prior
learning.
 Students
of the International City University of America have
accepted the challenge of pursuing their degree objective
by utilizing the University's unique off-campus, independent
and self-paced approach to education. Mature and experienced
adults with an interest in a university program which
grants appropriate recognition and credit for prior
achievements will recognize that the International City
University of America can assist them in meeting their
personal educational goals and objectives. |

Unlike most countries,
in the United States there is no national procedure
for licensure and accreditation of universities
and colleges. Accreditation is voluntary and is
not thefunction of the United States Department
of Education.
International City University of America is registered
in the State of California of USA. All degrees
granted or issued in California are equal under
the law. Judgments of value and applicability
of a certain degree are not made by the law of
the state. However, the applicability of a degree
to a particular job or the transfer of educational
credits to another university is determined by
those who render such evaluations for each specified
purposes.
International City University of America degrees
are not designed to meet any particular local,
state, or national licensing or credentialing
laws, nor to meet any requirements established
by independent professional associations. If licensing
is the objective of a degree program, learners
are advised to investigate the requirements of
their particular states, school districts, professional
associations, and agencies, so their program may
be designed accordingly. |
