European International University

[eLearner]

The European International University operates under the authority of the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education, Research, and Innovation. Essentially, we function under the supervision of these relevant ministries. This authorization and licensing grant EIU the power to award certifications to its students and graduates.
 
However, since our founders believed that EIU should provide programs to international students worldwide rather than exclusively catering to French students, we made a deliberate choice not to offer the typical "French-type" programs and degrees. Instead, we exclusively offer and run "international-type" programs, such as the BEd, BSITDS, BBA, MBA, MSIET, MSMHP, MSITDS, DBA, DMan, EdD, and PsyD. These programs are not typically offered at any traditional French higher education institutions.
 
The ministry in France is fully aware of this and supports our initiatives. They also acknowledge that EIU actively seeks and has obtained international accreditation and professional memberships from reputable Quality Assurance (QA) / Quality Control (QC) bodies. Detailed information about these accreditations and memberships can be found at https://eiu.ac/recognition-and-accreditation/.
 
Additionally, it may be beneficial to note that the EIU-Paris degrees have been evaluated as equivalent to regionally accredited university degrees in the US and Canada for the purpose of further studies and employment, both in those countries and elsewhere around the world, by https://validential.com/.

EIU has been awarded the prestigious Premier Accreditation status by the Accreditation Service for Schools, Colleges, and Universities (ASIC, UK). Additionally, it is currently the programmatic accreditation candidate for BBA, MBA and DBA by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), a leading international accreditation agency that specializes in business education.
 
EIU is also endorsed by reputable names in international higher education quality assurance, such as ECBE, BGA (parent company of AMBA), ATHEA, and has been ranked as the World’s Top-55 B-school in the world for 2023 by CEOWORLD Magazine, US. Furthermore, EIU has earned a QS Intelligence Star Rating of 5 out of 5 on EDUCATION QUALITY and ONLINE LEARNING categories.
 
EIU is a private university that offers various undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional programs in business, management, entrepreneurship, education (teacher training), psychology, IT, and data science. It is based in Paris, France, and has a global reach with students from different parts of the world.

I'm okay with Validential to an extent. But what you really want are positive evaluations from places like ECE, IEE, WES, etc., because Validential is closer to a "last ditch effort" evaluator that one would use after exhausting better-recognized avenues. Also, no offense, but that ranking can't be taken seriously. You don't really believe your business program is one of the 55 best in the world. The school is virtually unknown, and I can assure you that just in the U.S. alone there are at least 500 business schools that would get ranked before EIU is even thought of. You don't want to overdo it with that kind of thing. If I'm EIU, here is what I'm doing:

- Posting the "authorization and licensing" certificates received from the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education, Research, and Innovation on your website.

- Linking to an official database that shows EIU is in it as being authorized and licensed to operate.

- Working with and encouraging students to submit their credentials to better-recognized foreign credential evaluation services.

- Keep your prices right where they are. I'm often puzzled by schools in this position that charge 10s of thousands of dollars. It never makes any sense because there is enough competition out there with better pricing that it has to be nearly impossible to stay afloat. Don't poke that bear.

- Getting students to submit the results of their foreign credential evaluations to you, and tailoring your programs to overcome anything that is preventing favorable evaluations. Often times, program length is what sinks legitimate schools. So sometimes just making a program a little longer can be the difference between a foreign Master's being evaluated as equivalent to a Master's in the United States, or it being evaluated as equivalent to a Bachelors degree... or less.
