Integrate your institution into the academic umbrella of a U.S. university and offer your students a certification of international excellence. Our affiliation process is designed to support educational institutions like yours that seek to expand the professional and academic recognition of their programs in a global context.
An Affiliated Center is an educational institution that aligns with the mission and vision of MCA Open University to operate under our international academic endorsement. More than just an endorsement, this alliance is a mutual commitment to contribute to the development of cutting-edge specialized education. Affiliated centers join an educational community that promotes values such as leadership, internationalism, entrepreneurship, and sustainability, training well-rounded professionals committed to sustainable progress and change.
Our accreditation process is open to applications from institutions that demonstrate a strong commitment to educational quality. The evaluation focuses on ensuring that each accredited institution has the structural, academic, and ethical conditions to be part of our international network.
Certification not only provides academic validity, but also opens up a range of strategic and professional opportunities, generating tangible value for both your institution and your student community.
Our methodology is a structured process designed to ensure that each accredited program reflects the highest standards of excellence, relevance, and professional applicability.

MCA University, as a private US institution, guarantees that certified programs meet the highest international academic quality standards.

It is not equivalent to a government degree, and validation is a personal process in each country. Transcripts are issued with an apostille from The Hague.
