Does anyone understand BSN?

The site does mention that they are partnered with Global Humanistic U. for this degree. Also, that was probably the school Dr. May referred to as "The holistic University" in one of his posts in this thread. Not that it would entice me. I've been through our search thing for Curacao-accredited schools. As I see it, not an inspiring list. As I see it, most of what's accredited in Curacao, stays in Curacao - like Las Vegas. I'll make an exception for the University of Curacao.

Global Humanistic U. is licensed, not accredited, by Anguilla. To me, that means it can legally award degrees of no standing, like private schools that are licensed by Swiss Cantons or licensed private universities in Panama, that do not choose to accredit, which entails following the dictates of the (public) University of Panama.

It's a good thing it's cost-prohibitive, @Johann766. It sure wouldn't get you very far in Deutschland.

Want a really great wall-hanger, @Johann766? You might like a Georges Braque (Cubist) print, that can be had for maybe $200 - $300. A contemporary of Pablo Picasso. Add maybe $250-300 for a great framing job.

Or if you want to stay with German artists, plenty of Blaue Reiter group prints are available at under $1,000. Either way, people would be impressed by your good taste.

For fans of German modern art, who are of lesser means - you could get a poster of a Die Brücke (group) artist's work - maybe Max Ernst or Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, for about $20. They probably sell those at Aldi. (German equivalent of Walmart.)

I prefer another Die Brücke (and Blaue Reiter) artist - German-American Lyonel Feininger. A poster of his work can be had for maybe three times the $20 tag. Probably not at Aldi.

 

Ups after I read the price tag I skipped the rest but of course you are right, they mention the Global Humanistic University by name!
However Global Hum. is not only allowed to award degrees, the degrees are state-recognized in Curacao too.

I´ve been looking into Curacao because - as BSN - describes it:

"The DBA’s state accreditation in Curacao results in the degree falling under the jurisdiction of the Bologna Process.

The Bologna Process is a series of ministerial meetings and agreements between European countries, as well as several non-European countries, to ensure comparability in the standards and quality of higher-education qualifications."

So from a German perspective Curacao might have been interesting if any institution there offers a cheap and fast PhD which is automatically fully recognized in Germany too. However this kind of institution does not exist .
Curacao is a Dutch overseas territory, that´s why.

 

Indeed. And that's why Curacao accreditation is pretty meaningless, in the Netherlands proper. I think the only Curacao institution, the degrees of which would have any validity "back home in Amsterdam" (or anywhere else) would be those of the University of Curacao Dr. Moises da Costa Gomez.

I've looked through past threads and there are other Curacao most "universities" (some of which decidedly are not), which appear to be mostly low-end, with doubtful status or no real status at all. We've had some "beauties" also - domiciled in a (former) Dutch Colony - Suriname. Several are "gone" already.

European countries themselves generally run a very tight ship in higher education. Certainly, that applies to both Germany and the Netherlands. That does not necessarily include present or former outposts or colonies.

 

Unfortunately, these days, mention of The Bologna Process is very often the sign of a smokescreen - a degree mill blowing smoke. Even if one of these schools adheres - or claims to adhere more-or-less (likely less) to the Bologna requirements, it does not mean its degrees would automatically have any standing. That would require mainstream degree-granting permission from the authorities in the school's home country.

And for a non-European country - nothing at all. Almost all of Europe is signed on - but no non-European Members. Four foreign countried applied but were rejected as they did not meet the standards:Israel, Kyrgyzstan and the unrecognized countries of Northern Cyprus and Kosovo.

Curacao is not the Netherlands - and neither is Suriname.

Same for Turks and Caicos - it is a British Overseas Territory but it is not the UK. A degree earned at any of T&C's schools will not benefit from UK accreditation - although a degree from University of West Indies Global campus, Turks and Caicos, will be recognized in UK.

 

And everywhere else.
