AU or GMU Degree - doyouhowdo1 - 08-24-2025
Hi Everyone,
Would you choose Acacia University at Arizona or Guglielmo Marconi University to do your doctorate degree?
Both university partner with Westford.
I prefer more on Guglielmo Marconi University because it is recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education. However, when I look at the university website, I couldn't find anything about doctorate degree. Will the Italian Ministry of Education also recognised their doctorate degree?

For Acacia University, it is only a NA university. But it is a U.S. university. So there won't be any problem about the degree.

It depends largely on what you intend to do with the degree.
It depends also on how the foreign degree will be evaluated in terms of U.S. equivalency.
Are the degrees, not just the schools, recognized? Think "propio."
Other considerations include cost, content, learning methodology, program length and others.
Each of these could affect an individual's decision. There are a lot of questions remaining to be answered.

Living in the Washington, DC area, at first I was like "American University or George Mason University? Hmm, tough one!"

Very tough. It might come down to the direction of one's commute.

Did you just look at these two? Have you looked at anything more? These two are not the same degree programs... Decide which one will suit you more. I suggest looking at other options in addition to these two, find some in the same price range, if not cheaper...

May I know why you consider GMU when AU seems to perfectly meet all of your requirements ?
