That’s great to know- that UCN degrees are deemed equivalent of a US RA degree.

Sorry if I should know this, what is an RA degree?

Regionally Accredited. See https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Common_Terms

Other countries don't use the same terms as the US, but someone getting their degree evaluated by a US evaluation company would want the equivalent of an RA degree - as opposed to a non-accredited degree.

@Lydclrk, Yes, RA = Regionally Accredited. For the particular UCN degree in the thread, you want to wait for the 'dust to clear', as there are issues with the government recognizing the institutions in that part of the world. I would research comparable options at the graduate level in other countries of interest, you may want to search the grad area for possible programs.

This thread has been dormant for a couple years.

Any updates from anyone or anywhere about UCN and its psychology degrees?

@cacoleman1983, did you ever get your PhD or EdD from UCN?

@eLearner, you mentioned corresponding quite extensively with UCN. Did you ever pull the trigger? If so, did you use UCN degree(s) for licensure in the United States?

@Messidiener. I was inquiring at the time only out of curiosity. I did speak to a Professor there who told me that they would be offering the program again by the end of last year. I never inquired again after that.
