Recognition and Accreditation
Kennedy University carries an international recognition profile supported by both French authorisation and U.S. academic recognition arrangements. In France, Kennedy University is authorised as a private distance higher education institution and is listed through the official French education framework for private distance learning institutions. This provides the university with a formal European institutional basis for delivering and awarding its private higher education programmes.
Kennedy University also benefits from academic recognition links with Kennedy University of Baptist in the United States, allowing recognised academic credit arrangements and potential double degree opportunities where applicable. Together, these French and U.S. recognition routes strengthen the international standing of Kennedy University awards and provide learners with a flexible, globally oriented pathway for advanced study in business, education, leadership and professional development.
French Authorisation and European Institutional Basis
Kennedy University is authorised as a private higher education establishment in France under the French Education Code provisions relating to private distance education institutions. The university is registered as a Centre d’enseignement à distance and is listed on the official web portal of the French Ministry of National Education, Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
This French authorisation gives Kennedy University a formal institutional basis in Europe for the delivery of private distance higher education programmes. Kennedy University’s degrees are issued as private institutional degrees under its own academic authority and are developed, delivered and assessed by the university as a private higher education institution.
For transparency, Kennedy University states that its awards are Private Institutional Degrees and are not classified as French Diplômes Nationaux, meaning they should not be presented as French national university degrees.
U.S. Academic Recognition Arrangements
Kennedy University has academic recognition links with Kennedy University of Baptist in the United States. Kennedy University states that credits earned at Kennedy University are recognised by Kennedy University of Baptist, and credits earned at Kennedy University of Baptist are recognised by Kennedy University.
This relationship also allows students to explore double degree opportunities in the name of Kennedy University of Baptist where applicable and subject to academic approval. Kennedy University of Baptist is listed by Kennedy University as having annual verification as a religious college through the Florida Department of Education Commission for Independent Education, with degree-conferring authority under the relevant Florida religious college provisions.
