Accreditation
Bermuda College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE).
Accreditation status is a testament to the College’s commitment and capacity to deliver a level of education to students that meets rigorous North American recognised quality standards that are subject to external review and verification. Beyond this, graduating from an accredited institution of higher education, like Bermuda College, affords students the opportunity to transfer course credits to another college or university without having to repeat them.
Most employers prefer to hire job applicants with degrees or certificates from an accredited institution and also look to see that employees have been educated at an accredited institution when making decisions about promotions within the firm. Accreditation status is also often considered by employers who provide tuition assistance/reimbursement for those employees who desire or need to further their education.
Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution (
