Charisma gets its legal authority to operate from Turks and Caicos, a semi-autonomous territory of the UK. It does not award British degrees.
Because the school does not have any form of recognized institutional accreditation, degrees from it would need to be assessed by a foreign degree evaluation agency to determine their utility to US students. That would mean going through the school and earning one of its degrees, then getting it evaluated.
ACBSP is programmatic accreditation, not institutional accreditation. It has no effect on the status of the degrees awarded by this school. ACBSP requires US schools it accredits to have regional accreditation, but it does not apply this requirement to foreign schools. It is not known if this programmatic accreditation would make it more likely that degrees from this school covered by that accreditation would be more favorably evaluated by a foreign degree evaluation agency. Again, that would require an actual test case, and this school has not produced any that are known publicly.
