Accreditation, first with the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) and then with WASC senior (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) is a three stage process, with full accreditation, with WASC senior, occurring only after WUaS graduates its first undergraduate class, probably in 2018, and WUaS has received the 'green light' from both organizations.

Creative Commons' licensed World University and School, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, plans to offer free, online, bachelor, Ph.D., law, I.B. and M.D. degrees, in many, large languages, beginning with WUaS's first, online, undergraduate class this autumn 2014.

Wait, so you do have accreditation? Why isn't this front-page news?

Hi, A,

Accreditation is a very long process ... and prospective, high achieving students interested in free (since C.C.), MIT-centric, WUaS degrees will have to assume that (or analyze whether or not) WUaS will carry through with the many stages (documents, fees, etc.) of the accreditation process, first in English and in California and in the U.S., (especially vis-a-vis transfer students both in and out, etc.).

WUaS has met in person with WASC senior for an hour and a quarter, and been in significant email correspondence with BPPE, and received the green light from both.

And accreditation with BPPE and WASC senior is the very beginning for WUaS of accrediting in many countries, especially for law schools plus.

best,
