You no longer need a visa or a plane ticket to study with a US-incorporated institution. For international students, a 100% online program removes the biggest barriers.

What to confirm before enrolling
UGU is incorporated in Delaware, USA, as an international private university with private (non-governmental) accreditations. It is not a government-recognised university, and recognition varies by country and employer — confirm the credential fits your goal.
