BGU is nationally accredited at the highest level (doctorate) in the United States as a residential university which allows BGU to offer courses

1. in totally online communities,

2. in a multi-model hybrid format including online communities, personal mentoring, and on-location courses, or

3. fully in-person.  

BGU is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) which provides BGU with rigorous, scholarly, peer-evaluation from Christian universities operating around the globe. This accreditation allows BGU to not only meet the highest standards in the USA accreditation system but also allows BGU to innovatively serve in its cross-cultural constituency in six continents.

Is BGU USA regionally accredited? This question is sometimes asked by international entities that have not updated their standards within the last decade. The term “regionally accredited” is an obsolete term that has not been used by the US Department of Education for several years (State Authorization). BGU’s national accreditation is held to the same standards as agencies that were formally “regional” accreditors.

Will other universities accept BGU transfer credits? Any university can choose to not accept transfer credits from another school; however, the USA Department of Education highly discourages discrimination by schools against other USA-accredited schools. BGU has a strong reputation with both USA-based and global universities, especially for its highly diverse, global student body and faculty, resulting in BGU graduates receiving transfer credits and respect for their work at BGU.
