>> RECOGNITIONReputationWhile a person's reputation depends much on his/her professional career, social behavior, and achievements, it also depends on the knowledge the individual has acquired through a good education. A person's reputation can be firmly established with a university diploma. Of course, when a company looks for a new employee ? what really interests the organization is the candidate's know-how, ability to solve problems, and other practical skills - not just the his/her university degree. In the case of universities, the key to maintaining a good reputation is in the admission process. For instance, if among thousands of applicants, Harvard University only admits the top 100 candidates, these students will still remain the best students. Even if they have a negative performance during that school year, they still are the top students. Corporate recognition:Most modern companies believe that a degree obtained by correspondence is as valid as a degree obtained by attending classes regularly. In some cases, it is even given preference. This is because he/she who possesses a degree obtained this way has demonstrated that he/she has special skills that are highly regarded at the workplace, such as self-motivation, will power, a desire to improve oneself, personal organization and responsibility. Ultimately, what matters is the student's learning capacity and ability to perform his/her job successfully. More than 70 % of the students that were surveyed two years after completing their distance learning program felt a considerable increase in their self-esteem and social status. Most of these individuals had moved on to a better job, had been promoted, or had received a salary raise. Academic recognition:The degree programs offered at BIU are widely recognized by other schools. However, if a BIU graduate wishes to pursue his/her education at any other university, he/she should first ensure that the credits obtained at BIU will be transferred. There are schools that are reluctant to accept credits obtained at a distance learning school. In other cases, transfer of credits is only partial. Accreditation and admission criteria vary from university to university. Institutional recognition:For positions in certain government agencies, official degrees are generally required from prospective employees. Degrees that have been officially validated with the Apostille from The Hague, through other official recognition systems, or by credit banks may also be accepted. Again, the criteria for degree validation can vary from country to country, so we advise to check in advance. |
