The following colleges and universities offer United
States Master’s degree programmes in the United
Kingdom. All fees are for 2002-2003 unless specified
otherwise. A sample prospectus may be available for
reference use in the Educational Advisory Service

copy of prospectuses and/or further information.
PLEASE NOTE: inclusion
on this list does not imply approval or recognition;
it is for information purposes only. The descriptions
of the universities are provided by the institutions
themselves.
Accreditation
There are two significant types of accreditation for
US universities and colleges: institutional accreditation
by regional accrediting bodies; and professional accreditation
by national professional accrediting bodies for schools
and departments within an institution, for example
business or engineering schools.
When considering applying to a US university or college
it should be borne in mind that, with few exceptions,
US and UK universities and colleges will only recognise
degrees earned at US institutions which are regionally
accredited. Other types of US institutional accreditation
are unlikely to be recognised. Employers may also
have policies as to which US universities they will
recognise. Those considering a professional degree
programme should also check the accreditation status
of the school(s) they will be applying to with the
relevant professional accrediting body in the US and
their home country.
All the institutions listed below are either a US
institution with regional accreditation in the US;
the overseas campus of a US institution which is accredited
by a regional accrediting body in the US; or have
an agreement to offer in the UK degree programmes
awarded by a US regionally accredited institution.
Choosing a
University

Guide to Postgraduate Study in the US, which is

Study in the US. Orders may also be placed over the
