Is Mapua Institute of Technology Manila Philippines an accredited school by western states and colleges?

Mapúa University (formerly Mapúa Institute of Technology) is not automatically accredited by Western states and colleges in the same way that a school within those states might be. Accreditation is a complex issue and works on a regional or national basis, not internationally in a blanket way.

A school's acceptance of Mapúa University credits will depend on several factors, including:

* The specific Western state college or university: Each institution has its own policies on accepting transfer credits from international institutions.

* The program of study: Credits from certain programs may be more easily transferable than others.

* The specific courses taken: Individual course equivalencies need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

* Mapúa University's accreditation in the Philippines: While Mapúa's accreditation within the Philippines is relevant, Western institutions primarily look at their own regional accreditation standards and the quality of the specific coursework.

Therefore, a prospective student would need to contact the specific Western state college or university they're interested in attending and inquire about transfer credit policies for Mapúa University graduates. They should provide transcripts and have the institution assess whether the courses meet their requirements.
