The University of Business and International Studies (UBIS) features English-language-based programs that meet both the US standards and the Bologna accord standards thus maximizing to meet the needs of the international aspiring adult:[5][6][7]

Accreditations
UBIS grants both Bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees to qualified students and is operated under the authorization of Geneva Cantonal Department of Education. UBIS is authorized as a private university by the Government of Geneva, Switzerland. Geneva has its own autonomous governmental office of education (similar to a national ministry), and its authority is recognized across the country.[8]
Our programs are set up to meet both the requirements of American universities and European universities via the Bologna Accord. UBIS is presently developing partnerships with universities in the USA and elsewhere in the world. UBIS follows the American course development and course content principles that are prescribed by accreditation agencies such as the Middle States Accreditation commission in the USA. This is to guarantee that courses are taught according to the best USA academic standards and that the materials that students learn are accordingly rigorous and demanding. Knowing this should help any student find future studies or employment in the USA or elsewhere in countries that observe the same high educational standards.[8]
Our sister school, Potomac College, has Middle States regional accreditation in the USA and is the provider of the online courses for UBIS students. Potomac College has a articulation agreement with UBIS whereby UBIS students can be jointly enrolled as Potomac college students to enable the granting of US credit hours. Therefore, as a participant of this program, students will simultaneously receive 3 credits for each online course from both UBIS and Potomac College, Washington, D.C. USA. By taking the required 123 credits online with UBIS, students will receive both the UBIS undergraduate degree, recognized in Switzerland and the Potomac College undergraduate degree with US accreditation upon successful completion of the student's studies. Qualifying on ground students are also eligible for the double diploma by transferring their on ground credits to Potomac College and on the condition they take their final 10 classes either on-line or on ground at Potomac.[8]
Career Service Office
The Career Service Office (CSO) office acts as a liaison between our high caliber students and the international community. Our graduates are well sought after and find excellent positions upon graduating. Although UBIS does not guarantee employment upon graduation it assists students in finding a position. UBIS offers resume and cover letter workshops as well as mock interviews to help students find the best possible position upon graduation.[9]
Campus Environment
Embedded between nearby Alpine peaks and the hilly terrain of the Jura, the French-speaking city of Geneva lies in the bay where the Rhone leaves Lake Geneva. With its humanitarian tradition and cosmopolitan flair, the European seat of the UNO and headquarters of the Red Cross is known as the capital of peace. The symbol of the world’s smallest metropolis is the Jet d’eau – a fountain with a 140-metre-high water jet at the periphery of Lake Geneva. Most of the large hotels and many restaurants are situated on the right-hand shore of the lake. The old town, the heart of Geneva with the shopping and business quarter, holds sway over the left-hand shore. It is dominated by St. Peter’s Cathedral, however the actual centre of the old town is the Place du Bourg-de-Four, which is the oldest square in the city. Quays, lakeside promenades, countless parks, lively side streets in the old town and elegant shops invite guests to stroll. Culturally, this city on the westernmost fringe of Switzerland has much to offer. International artists perform in the Grand Théâtre and Geneva Opera House, and an extremely diverse range of museums such as the Musée international de l'horlogerie, a watch museum with a collection of jewellery watches and musical clocks, and the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which provides an insight into the work of these humanitarian organisations, invite city guests to visit them. A rewarding excursion destination is Mont Salève, which is situated in neighbouring France. The cableway lifts visitors to an altitude of 1100 metres in less than five minutes, giving rise to outstanding vistas across the city of Geneva, Lake Geneva, the chain of Alps, the Jura and Montblanc.[10][11]
