Adam Smith University can award academic credit and degrees to students who have completed such recognized programs at accredited institutions of post secondary education. Accreditation is a voluntary process. There is no legal requirement in the United States for such accreditation. Some professions such as law, education, nursing and accountancy require licensing in most American states and Canadian provinces. Licensing requirements vary in different jurisdictions.
Some employers also have particular requirements for employment.
Students are, therefore, strongly advised to check with licensing bodies or employers to determine if Adam Smith University courses, degrees or transcripts suit their own particular needs before enrolling. Each university has its own requirements for accepting credits and degrees from other universities. Adam Smith University's credits and degrees have been accepted by universities in the United States and in other countries, such as the United Kingdom and by many employers. Adam Smith University of America is incorporated in the State of Dakota and has the right to confer degrees in that state. Its degrees are legal and valid.
