UNIVERSITY OF WALES VALIDATED DEGREES
John Cabot University’s three largest degree programs - Business Administration, International Affairs and Political Science - are validated by the University of Wales, and are thus recognized in both the U.S. and Europe.
John Cabot is one of the few institutions to enjoy such a privilege in international higher education. Students who complete the Wales program earn both an American degree from John Cabot University and a European degree (validated Honors Diploma) from the University of Wales.
Details on these programs are available from the Admissions Office and the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs.
An administrative fee is charged to cover University of Wales validation costs.
