Bay Atlantic University leadership has announced the recognition of accreditation from the New England Commission of Higher Education, making BAU the first university in the area to receive the honor. NECHE, as the commission is commonly known, is one of the premier accreditors in higher education, having the likes of Harvard, Yale and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology among its ranks. Bay Atlantic University has now joined the club.

Our bachelor’s degrees include Business Administration & Management (with concentrations in Finance, Economics, and Information Systems), Political Science & International Relations, Information Technology (STEM), and Software Engineering (STEM).

BAU is proud to meet the rigorous academic standards upheld by top institutions in higher education.
