The Accredited Mobile-first MBA for the Modern Leader

The Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a recognized accrediting agency and also recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). It accredits distance education institutions that offer online programs such as those pioneered by Valar Institute.

Most employers and educational institutions outside the US will recognize your degree from Valar Institute, as it is a division of an accredited US institution. Recognition of foreign degrees is determined on a country by country basis. If official recognition of your degree is important to employers or potential employers in your country, we encourage you to check on degree recognition with the relevant organizations in your country.

Yes! Many companies that offer tuition assistance for higher education degree programs require those institutions to be accredited. For both our MBA and Executive MBA, this may mean that you are eligible for full funding of the degree. Check with your HR department and find out more here.
