The concept is very exciting and very helpful for the people across the globe. Still, there are few questions like “Are the degrees awarded by UoPeople valid in all the countries of world?” The answer is :
University of the People is not an accredited institution. The University of the People intends to apply for accreditation and for authorization from recognized agencies and authorities in accordance with the rules, regulations and timelines of said agencies and authorities.

Even if they don’t get their accreditation, which hopefully, they will, this looks like a great opportunity to continue education for people who wouldn’t be able to otherwise, and are passionate about learning.
