    Are you talking about http://www.aut.edu or http://www.aut.edu.lb in Lebanon?

    Both sites are for the same school I guess. I am interested to know their accrediting body in the US.

    Thanks jonathan...

    Just judging from its website, it seems to be a Lebanese institution with little connection to the United States besides its name.

    It claims to have a Lebanese Presidential decree and accreditation by their ministry of education. Whether that's enough to get it into the IHU and hence GAAP, I don't know.

    But it certainly doesn't seem to be regionally accredited here in the US.
     
  5. The two sites have slight differences, with http://www.aut.edu/ seeming to have more up-to-date info.

    For example, http://www.aut.edu/news.htm has the same content as http://www.aut.edu.lb/news.htm with some later news at the top.

    Both have a link to an "External Program" page with this info:
    The question of whether AUT is "accredited" is moot; they have an articulation agreement with ESC through which students can get a degree from a regionally accredited U.S. university through a combination of AUT residency and distance learning.

    This is correct. Our students can continue their studies whether undergraduate or graduate at SUNY-Empire State College. They have also been accepted for graduate studies in many other US universities for both programs.

    AUT is based in Lebanon and its programs are accredited by SUNY Empire State College. Students may continue the undergraduate studies in the US or outside of it wit ESC and can of course join ESC's graduate programs. Other U.S. and Australian universities have acepted AUT students in both undergraduate and graduate programs. The distance learning division will in a first phase cater to the business graduate students and to senior undergraduate students.
