There was a long thread about it here but somehow it disappeared...
Depends on what you need the degree for, as its usefulness is fairly limited due to their "accreditations".
In similar league, ACLAS might be cheaper: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-ACLAS-Is-this-even-legal

so is their accreditation valid or "diploma millish" type because some of them seems legit from my reading.
I may enroll in their vae route for eductaion because i teach art

It depends on what you need the degree for. Also, in which country, I guess QAHE accreditation might mean something in some countries, mostly in Asia.
Where I live, using degree from this institute would in many cases have negative effect (for jobs that require university degree) to strongly negative effect (jobs that require doctorate), it would be considered diploma mill (although strictly speaking diploma mill is probably where you buy a paper, but at GIU there might be some study involved).
But that doesn't necessarily mean much to people considering to use it in some other country or for some other reason.

ahhh ic because i am based in malaysia so i think its is a 50/50 need for it
RE: Graham International University - Tomas - 03-18-2025
I can only guess based on https://www.qahe.org/partnership-and-recognition/ and some other mentions of Malaysia on QAHE website that their accreditation might be worthless in Malaysia.
Your best bet is to consult local laws, as for which foreign degrees are recognized in Malaysia - if you need a locally recognized degree. And/or check with local degree recognition agencies or authorities.
Also, if they are really accredited in Kyrgyzstan, depending on what exactly that accreditation there means, perhaps there might be a way to make such degree recognized in some other countries based on that. That would require further investigation and probably quite some effort to go through if at all possible.

RE: Graham International University - bjcheung77 - 03-19-2025
@wee222 - just wondering if you have checked out other institutions? There are similarly priced degree options that are from those Spanish universities, if you know the language, it'll be easier. Otherwise, some people may use Google Translate and other options to get the written work done.

Not sure what happened to that thread, but, I mentioned that GIU wasn't accredited properly and I would refrain from taking anything there.

same i went looking for it but you see the trend here where a new account with their first post comes on to degreeforum asking questions and then a representative from the school answers that question who has never been a part of the forum. They are attempting to fish new students into their scam degreemill.
RE: Graham International University - FakePhDInvestigator - 03-19-2025
Graham University is accredited by the Graham International Accreditation Agency which is also run by Frankie Graham Jr. I don't even know how anyone can take this seriously. I looked into it in detail and the guy lives in Vietnam, has four different US offices registered, and seems to spend most of his time trying to get more and more sketchy third-world accreditation. The "university" is a one-man show. None of the professors supposedly teaching there even mention Graham University on their LinkedIn, CV, or bio. This is as much of a worthless diploma mill as has ever existed.
