Accelerated Online Affordable Educational Degrees | Holy State University

Notable Statement made by the U.S. Department of Education that explains basics of any educational institution accreditation in the United States:

"Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credits earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of credits or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer." [U.S. Department of Education]

U.S. Department of Education about universities in the United States:

"The United States has no federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary (higher) educational institutions in this country. In general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in the character and quality of their programs. In order to insure a basic level of quality, the practice of accreditation arose in the United States as a means of conducting nongovernmental, peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs."

U.S. Department of Education about accreditations in the United States:

"The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies, which are private non-governmental entities, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not educational criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency."

U.S. Department of Education about acceptance of educational degrees:

"Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of credits or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer."

Our Accreditations

We are holding accreditation from private non-governmental accreditation agency. Accreditation Council for Educational Standards of Schools and Universities (ACESSU) provides supervisory accreditation for all our educational programs. ACESSU is not under the control of any government body. [Instant verification ACESSU ]

We are accredited, approved and administered by our own autonomous Religious Government with own Ministry of Education that controls our affiliated educational institutions. In addition, we have a second level of control provided by supervisory accreditation from private non-governmental accreditation agency. Accreditation Council for Educational Standards of Schools and Universities (ACESSU) provides supervisory accreditation for all our educational programs holding institutional accreditation.

Holy State University is the International Religious Autonomous Educational Entity existing under legal jurisdiction of the Religious Law [Autonomous International Religious Authority with own Religious Governing].

Holy State University is administered by the Autonomous Self-governing Religious Authority. Autonomous Self-governing Religious Authority is not under the jurisdiction of any secular government in the United States or any State of the United States (neither any secular government of any other Country). Accordingly, not the United States government, neither the government of any State of the United States can make any laws or rules that can regulate in any way or in any manner lawful affairs of the Autonomous Self-governing Religious Authority that is controlling Authority for Holy State University.

Holy State University is only a provider of educational services that is not involved in any politically-motivated arrangements with any unrelated governmental entities. The same way, we are not accepting any government-issued student loans or any other form of payments from any governmental structures.

Do We need any Accreditation?

Accreditation is not required by any laws of the United States. Individual States that are requiring professions licensing for certain professions, sometimes are requiring completion of programs in institutions carrying accreditation made by certain specific accreditors; however, in most cases it is only applicable for the initial degree creating initial requirement for licensing (usually for some Associate and Bachelor's degrees in medical and other professions associated with human health, law, and safety). In the United States, Master's and academic Doctoral degrees (PhD and Doctoral studies) usually are not a subject of any professional licensing (please note that professional doctoral degrees, such as Doctor of Medicine and Juris Doctor are Bachelor's degrees in the United States, despite the fact that person can call himself a doctor). Our own Religious Government manages and provides control for all our educational institutions and, in addition to that, accreditation agency "Accreditation Council for Educational Standards of Schools and Universities (ACESSU)" provides additional supervisory accreditation for all our educational programs (Accreditation Council for Educational Standards of Schools and Universities - see instant verification ACESSU

International Status

Location of our offices in the United States is not making us a subordinate of the any governmental system, where universities are making billions of dollars each year and students must make payments for outrageous educational loans that many people would never be able to pay-off for the rest of their professional career.

We are the independent (established by religious entity) International University that is not a subordinate of any country; and we are proud of the fact that we are FREE from any forms of corruption attributable to some places in the secular world.

Holy State University is the International University owned by the Autonomous (Self-governing) Religious Entity and exists under the full jurisdiction of its own Religious Government. We are not associated with any other unrelated to us governments or governmental organizations. We are proud to be free from all negative attributes of some secular organizations.

As the University of the Autonomous (Self-governing) Religious Government, only our own Religious Government (our religious Ministry of Education, as religious government entity) can control our educational systems and our educational institutions. We are setting our own independent high standards for the modern forms of education.

We are independent religious educational entity that controls its own educational system. According to the applicable laws, all our educational institutions are fully authorized by our own Religious Government.

Open Access to Education

You will be graduating from Holy State University (or its educational divisions) that is the Independent International University. Standards of our Religious Government are similar and higher than any private secular corporations/organizations can ever offer. We are using similar educational standards and guidelines as universities in the United States and European Union and we are taking the best from both systems.

The Best of all Educational Systems

Holy State University uses the best features of all commonly recognized educational systems. To ensure similarity in education, we adhere to the provisions of the Bologna Process that is accepted by many American and European educational institutions (we are accepting and following all provisions, purposes and processes required by the "Bologna Process" - European level) and North American educational systems. For more information about Bologna Process, see our corresponding page

Holy State University voluntarily accepted “Bologna Process” policies and principles, and incorporated provisions of the project in its educational system. The “Bologna Process” is an educational initiative, initiated in the European Union (EU), with main goal of achieving common standards for higher education in the European Union.

To assure high quality of education, Holy State University regularly develops and executes new policies for evaluation methods and new guidelines for the educational quality control. Our goals are the excellence and superiority of all our educational programs, educational approaches and research methods. We are promoting studies where person is able to gain knowledge on the basis of own initiative and personal desire for education.

We are offering an additional convenience for our students by providing Payment Plans that have no any payment deadlines and without any late payment penalties (some restrictions apply).

Comparing to students in other universities that at the time of graduation have financial debt ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid student’s loans, our graduates are the people that are enjoying more happiness in their life because they usually have no unpaid large educational loans. Our administrative fees are low and can be paid in the form of installment (partial) payments.

Goals of our Students and Graduates
