Briefs | USJ hoping for British accreditation

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) is hoping to be recognized by the British Accreditation Council next year, according to a TDM interview with rector Peter Stilwell. The university representative said that he hopes more students from Southeast Asia will be encouraged to study at USJ following the anticipated accreditation. “We are an English speaking university, so to be accredited by British Accrediting Agency would give us that stamp of approval that what we are saying [and what] we are selling is true,” Stilwell told TDM. The university is targeting the Southeast Asia market because Beijing does not issue visas to mainland students who wish to study at USJ, as it is a Catholic institution.
