Ronnie Brunswijk, with a Distinguished Political Leadership Award, an event that highlighted mutual respect and reinforced the university’s profile in the country’s educational and governmental circles. Such connections illustrate EIU’s commitment to building global bridges and affirm that its degrees hold value even in smaller nations where personal and official endorsements carry significant weight.
United States and International
In the United States, EIU-Paris degrees are increasingly being understood and accepted, thanks to the university’s compliance with international accreditation norms. While EIU-Paris is not a U.S. institution, its accreditations (like ASIC) and quality benchmarks align with U.S. and international expectations, enabling credential evaluators and employers to recognize the equivalence of EIU-Paris degrees to those from regionally accredited universities. Notably, the accreditation bodies affiliated with EIU are acknowledged by U.S. organizations – for example, ASIC’s inclusion in the CHEA International Quality Group directory and ACBSP’s recognition by CHEA ensure that EIU-Paris’s accredited status is transparent to U.S. educational authorities and employers . EIU-Paris alumni have gone on to pursue opportunities in the U.S., and the university maintains a network of academic partnerships and professional memberships that extend its reach in North America. This global footprint means that an EIU-Paris education is a truly transnational experience – students earn a degree from a French institution with the confidence that it will be respected worldwide, from Europe to Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and beyond.
