Independent recognition
The International Council for Business Education & Programs (ICBEP) is an independent international membership and quality recognition council. ICBEP provides standards, institutional review, program recognition, and public verification on a voluntary, members-and-applicants basis.
What ICBEP recognition is not
ICBEP recognition, membership, listing, or accreditation-style review does not replace, and should not be represented as:
- Government approval or authorization
- Statutory or national accreditation
- University degree-awarding authorization
- Professional licensing or regulatory registration
Institutional responsibility
Institutions are responsible for complying with applicable local laws, regulations, and approval requirements in every jurisdiction in which they operate. ICBEP recognition does not remove or reduce these obligations.
Accurate representation
Members and recognized institutions must represent ICBEP recognition accurately and must not imply government endorsement, guaranteed acceptance, or universal validity.
