Continents International University delivers its degrees fully online. Students study from anywhere with an internet connection, and coursework is asynchronous, so there are no fixed class times.
The academic model is competency-based. Students advance by showing they can do the work through projects and assessments, not by sitting through a set number of hours. Experienced students can move quickly through familiar material. The benefits of competency-based learning describe the approach.
Tuition follows an annual membership model rather than per-course billing. The structure is laid out in the tuition model breakdown.
The verified accreditation fact is that IACBE granted the university candidacy for accreditation in July 2024, with the period running through July 31, 2029. The International Accreditation Council for Business Education was founded in 1997 and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Candidacy is an early step and not the same as accreditation, as explained in the IACBE accreditation guide. Students can also read about online degree credibility.
