They claim to be legit and have a DBA...

The Educatis Graduate School of Management claims to be accredited but who knows more?

To facilitate things...

 

If you have to claim it.....

 

The faculty here check out - they do exist are are faculty where stated.

However, 2 of them have left a little to be desired in their 'judgement' of lress than wonderful schools and professional associations.

George Brown may add more, and then he may not.

I wouldn't be rushing to enrol ...

 

They are actually really a very interesting institution.

Yes, it is true, they have German accreditation from FIBAA.

FIBAA is one of the few (private) organizations in Germany that has kind of a "sub-contract" to accredit university degree programs under official authority (the governmental organization above can be found under www.akkreditierungsrat.de).
FIBAA accredits degree programs in all three German-speaking countries, i.e. Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Now comes the tricky part:
FIBAA does not only accredit under the official seal of the "Akkreditierungsrat" (see above), but also offers a second, private accreditation (which is not accepted by the state).
This means: when Educatis claims to have FIBAA accreditation, they are actually not lying. But - the accreditation they have pursued (i.e. the private, non-official FIBAA one) - is not accepted by governmental authorities.

Besides, Educatis is a (for profit) stock corporation, which is more or less totally unusual in the German-speaking higher education system.
The German worldwide higher learning database www.anabin.de lists Educatis as "H-" which means [summary]:


These institutions are universities, but not officially legalised or accredited in their country of origin, and can therefore not regarded as universities in Germany.
or
These institutions are no legal universities according to the standards of their origin country.


All in all: if you pursue a degree from Educatis, you would not be allowed to lead it in Germany.

They could probably be compared to US state-approved schools, but nothing more...

Cheers from Europe,

Boilerplate for the second part of every discussion of accreditation.
