[edit] Accreditation

Universidad Cristiana del Sur is accredited by the Government of the Republic of Costa Rica - The Ministry of Education - Adult Council on Higher Education Private Universities (CONESUP) to award state format Bachelor degrees and, as such, degrees awarded enjoy equivalency to Regional Accreditation from the United States. The United States Department of Education finds that CONESUP has similar accreditation standards (NCFMEA).

The webpage of the Ministry of Education has a list with the accredited private universities in the country, which are accredited by the National Superior Education Committee --Consejo Nacional de Educacion Superior (Conesup). The website is the following:

Universidad Cristiana del Sur appears on that list, however only Bachelor’s and Licenciate degrees appear there in the areas of law, business administration, and theology. It also offers Master's and doctoral degree programs. There is not any indication that this institution is authorized to offer master's or doctoral programs; therefore Master and doctoral degree programs from this university would not have recognition in Costa Rica. Therefore degrees above the Bachelor level would not enjoy equivalency to Regional Accreditation from the United States.
