Q – I do not qualify the criteria mentioned on your site, can I still apply?
Absolutely not. At BU, we have always maintained a high standard of academic excellence, and under no circumstance will we compromise the integrity and reputation of our institution, or our students.

We offer Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate and Associate degree programs
Q – Do you offer any program for life experience based degrees?
Not exactly. We enroll students at BU based on life experience and academic qualifications. We do not award degrees based on life experience. Our degrees are earned through the completion of our course curriculum. However, we do assist those students who wish to obtain accredited degrees on the basis of their life/work experience through our alumni services.
Q – Can I apply for a major of my choice?
Absolutely. All of our programs are designed to meet the needs of our students. However, students must meet the eligibility requirements of each program.
Q – What if for whatever reason I must discontinue my studies after enrolling?
No problem. Again, all of our programs are designed to fit in with the lifestyle of each individual student. Studies are to be completed at the student’s own convenience. If students find that studying is not convenient, they are welcome to discontinue studying and continue at any time that is convenient for them.
