Graham International University

[Dr_Chirp]

You guys talking about the low low standards of QAHE reminds me of the time when even QAHE strongly disavowed any association with Rashad Richey's fake university. https://www.qahe.org/qahe-refutes-claims...niversity/

Graham International University (GIU) has the "Dr. Rashad Richey School of Law" Curious how many of their students were admitted to the bar in the U.S.? I do not see GIU accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). ABA accreditation generally signifies that the school meets certain standards, which can impact graduates' eligibility to take the bar exam in many states. I see that Dr. Richey is NOT a member of the U.S. bar, so I question GIU's success rate?

Good evening - what a day for my first post :-)

Well since I was looking into distance education (trying to figure out, what I want to study next...) I looked into QAHE as an accreditiion agency. And well:
No institution you really notice or have ever heard of is audited by them. Mostly some small "religious" schools and such...
I looked into the "directors" and "members". None of them seems to have published anything relevant. And I mean: NONE. About most you find no information at all on the internet. Some of the pictures and names I found on other "fishy" looking institutions - mosly "distancelearning" schools I'd never even consider from the looks of the webpages.
The only thing speaking "for" QAHE seems to be a "momorandum of understanding" with FIBAA - but I doubt that FIBAA knows anything of it since QAHE is not mentioned one time on the FIBAA Homepage...

I'd say noone with common sense should send any money to a QAHE-School...

There was a long thread about it here but somehow it disappeared...
Depends on what you need the degree for, as its usefulness is fairly limited due to their "accreditations".
In similar league, ACLAS might be cheaper: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...even-legal

If you understood accreditation, you would understand GIU has a nationally recognized accreditation and ACLAS does not. You need to learn about accreditations and stop making ignorant comments.

(I am aware of IARC and QAHE dual accreditation. Congratulations to all QAHE members for such opportunity. I am not in Kyrgyzstan though. Wondering how much easier is it to get IARC than DEAC.)

GIU is accredited by QAHE. ACLAS is accredited by QAHE. 
If that doesn't mean they are in similar league, then I can only guess what else it might mean.

RE: "Wondering how much easier is it to get IARC than DEAC."


Sounds like an intense effort to ensure quality in a school's accreditation.

GIU is part of a nonprofit organization with a recognized nonprofit tax code status of 501©(3) and has four different offices because, in order to operate in a state or in that country legally, it must be registered as a business to operate. Each state in the USA has its own agency that controls business entity licenses. IARC accreditation is nationally recognized by a ministry of education. Your comment proves your ignorance. Also, all your harassment and comments across the internet are failing. You calling each state to report GIU just helped GIU. Your emails complaining about GIU to the other schools and agencies show you have no idea what you are talking about. You have been harassing me and my friends for over one year, showing you are nothing but a worthless bigot that can not stand DEI is accepted worldwide. Even your videos on YouTube are crap and have no correct information. The more you harass me and my staff, the more we are going to be successful, and there is nothing you can do to stop us from getting more nationally recognized accreditations recognized by CHEA. FYI, GIU will have two more accreditations in April 2025.

Two more accreditations?  Let me guess: 

• The Graham Accreditation and Quickie Loan Agency  
  
• Frankie's List 'o Really Good Schools
  

Also, you sure are complaining a lot for someone who crows that all this harassment is only making him more successful. Such gratitude for all the times I made you money.

Just to be clear:  Dr. Chirp, PhD Investigator, and I are all three separate people. You should know that from my live streams, where all three of us show up at the same time.

For the record, all I have done are videos. I haven't contacted anyone about you or harassed any of your staff, if you even have a staff.

The agencies listed on QAHE’s website—CONIES, DRPF, INQAAHE, APQN, ARIA, and ISSA Egypt—do not establish QAHE as a universally legitimate accreditor. QAHE isn’t recognized by the U.S. Dept of Ed or CHEA, lacks a strong reputation, and offers vague standards. IARC is not widely recognized as a credible accrediting body in mainstream academic or professional circles anywhere.  In my humble opinion, QAHE caters to institutions unable to secure accreditation from more reputable agencies. Degrees from GIU may not be accepted for employment, licensure, or further education where ED/CHEA-recognized accreditation is the norm. Buyer beware!

I don't want to promote them via link, but it was hard to believe that Graham International Education Accreditation Agency placed an article about accreditation mills prominently on their website.
They are a bit special sort of educational player...

This forum is into investigating edge cases (and I would like to see a case where someone was able to make it to real masters in USA by using IARC stamped bachelors from GIU - despite total irony of US institute having to get accreditation in Kyrgyz republic as they are unable to get even the lowest one in USA), but QAHE seems to fall way over the edge, despite their progress in making friends in accreditation agencies in Asia. After I have read the reports on their website, I don't think such Potemkin village can last long.

That's actually a common tactic among diploma mills. In fact, if the university is warning students to beware of unscrupulous institutions, you can bank that the university itself is unscrupulous.

Well if yiu want to have a good laugh, just look at the hc doctorates, QHAE has given to people without ANY relevant background like this guy:
https://www.qahe.org/award/oliver-seroka/
Obviously NO academic background. He holds a "mini-MBA". But he is so relevant to QAHE in the field of logistics (since he worked for DHL...) that they gave him a doctorate (most likely after he gave them his money...).

Even if you're a "collector" of degrees (like some ppl here seem to be ;-) ), I guess no one would consider this to be legit. And I would avoid ANY school that even has something to to with the "members" of this accreditation mill or that has anything to do with any of the poeple from that homepage.

RE: "With a career spanning over three decades..."

I would sure hope so, given that he is clearly in his 60s.
