Government & Education Is NORSU university accredited abroad?

Does anyone have any information regarding NORSU's university degrees like Masters in Art being accredited abroad?how is the quality of education there?

 

In Belgium, not a single Filipino university degree is accredited.
The only paper accepted without any question is a Filipino driver's licence.

 

From a US perspective, I think a degree from NORSU would meet the bare minimum requirement that you have a degree from a school that's legitimate/accredited in the country in which it's located. That, and a cursory evaluation by one of the services that specialize in vetting foreign degrees would probably be enough for some employment purposes and entrance to some US graduate schools, assuming required grades, English proficiency, etc. But getting it accepted for anything requiring professional licensure in the US would be a tough go. However SOME US professions (Nursing for example, maybe others) have difficult but well defined pathways towards US licensure for foreign grads, and a NORSU grad should be able to at least attempt the process.

Can't comment on the quality of education, other than to say that for a school that I'd rank as roughly third tier in the Philippines, they seem to have pretty good rate on the various Philippine professional board exams. Saw on their website that in various recent years (not every year) they have had a 100% passing rate on Mechanical Engineering, CPA and Nursing exams, when the national average ran somewhere from 40-70%. They don't show up in the national rankings for these stats because of the smaller numbers of exam takers they produce compared to the bigger schools. (But they did have more than just one or two people taking the exams.)

We're footing the bill for a niece attending there, and I'll also say the tuition seems pretty cheap, even by Philippines standards. Another niece wanted to attend a state college in Luzon, and the tuition was considerably higher. We told her come on down here and go to school with her cousin, which she declined

One last thing, always wondered about the "State University" name - shouldn't it be "Provincial University"?
