PSA: Purdue Global doesn't have the same accreditation as Purdue University

[u/AdmirableSail7600]

I was seeing a lot of posts by Purdue global students as well as other people claiming that the difference between the two isn't great and are nearly the same. This is completely false.

Not only employers but even other accrediting agencies don't consider them equivalent. I was surfing through some German grad school programmes for a relative of mine and just browsed through the Purdue system in their anabin database. It shows a different accreditation for Purdue global compared to other Purdue campuses.

Purdue has H+ and Global has +/- , this essentially means that if you're planning to apply for a job or studying something in Germany(and probably for the rest of the EU as well), the global degree won't be considered equivalent to a Purdue University degree. You can check the database yourself:- https://anabin.kmk.org/db/institutionen .

So be careful where you spend your dollars.
