Unaccredited Degrees, The Singapore Context Warning!!! Before you seriously embark on a course or degree with these universities, do take note that most of the "Universities" in this list are NOT recognized in SINGAPORE. By recognition, it simply means that the Public Service Commission (PSC) will not accept your degree if you want to take up a position with the Singapore Civil Service. PSC's standard is also taken as a yardstick by the private sectors in Singapore. Some of the schools listed here are State Accredited (SA). These colleges are registered and recognized within the state where the school is operating. As oppose to a Regional Accreditation (RA), SA colleges may not be as widely recognized as the RA colleges. In plain words, SA colleges may not be able to transfer their earned credits as easily as their RA counterparts. If you are considering degree(s) from these non-traditional institutions, make sure that the degree meets your objectives.

The purpose of this list is to give the reader an idea of what they are dealing with. None of the schools listed here will tell you that their school is not recognized. You be the judge yourself! What are the standards adopted by PSC for recognition? PSC recognize schools that are regionally accredited. And as the largest “Human Resources” department in Singapore, their standards do matters!
