NUMSS DBA in one year

I have two questions:
1) Atlantic International University states they are not accredited by the US, but they are accredited by the ASIC. Is the ASIC recognized?

2) I have a coworker who calls himself "Dr" because he got his PHD from Bristol University. Is this University accredited? And if it's not accredited in the US, can help technically call himself a "Dr"?

Why not look at American schools that are accredited by an organization recognized by CHEA or the U.S. Department of Education or foreign schools authorized to operate by their governments? ASIC is recognized in the UK, but its recognition is dubious. UK schools don't need to be accredited by a private organization. Non-UK schools that advertise that they are accredited by ASIC are just trying to get around local regulations. There is no legitimate reason why an American school should get ASIC accreditation over an accreditation that is recognized in the U.S. Being a member of CHEA's International Quality Group is not the same as earning recognition from CHEA.

If you went to a UK school that is recognized by the government, then it will be recognized in the U.S. You'll likely be able to transfer credits to an American school after an evaluation from an organization such as ECE or WES. If you attend a school that is simply accredited by ASIC, it is going to be worthless in the U.S. ASIC is supposed to be added quality control on top of the UK government granting a school authority to issue degrees. ASIC, alone, does not allow a UK school to issue degrees. Atlantic International University, a school based in Hawaii, has a dumb excuse for not seeking accreditation from a recognized accrediting body in the U.S.

If you want a cheap, foreign school, take a look at South African universities (UNISA is the most popular).
