I am close to mailing an application for admission. I have tried to contact the government of Nevis thorugh emails and telephone and no luck! I cannot confirm that MUA is indeed "accredited" by the local governments. The only assurance I have is Dr. Doherty's honesty which I don't doubt, but rhetoric is not proof!

I also contacted one of these US transcript evaluation services and one of them had difficulty determining governmental accreditation as well. I would highly suggest MUA encouraging one of their graduates to seek a transcript evaluation from the following organizations. This will establish that MUA graduates are equivalent to Regionally or Nationally accredited USA Institutions. "And thats a good thing!" This is especially important for graduates of your Associates, Bachelor, Masters and PhD programs.
