The Swiss Management Center (SMC) Alumni has rejected claims
by a research carried out by some individuals that the institute has awarded
fake doctorate degrees and that they are not accredited.
Their names were mentioned in a report published recently by
Dr Tsikata and Dr Doste who carried out the research.
Dr. Andrew Akola, Spokesperson for the SMC Alumni in Ghana
has refuted the research report and said that, “the SMC is registered in Switzerland as a higher
education provider.
According to him, the SMC is a private higher education
institution registered for the reason they are built and they do not conform
themselves to any authority for accreditation.
"They also run programs that are not attained in the
Swiss system and so by Swiss law we do not require any accreditation by any
authority. The Swiss Management Center was although accredited by the European
Council of Business Education”.
He went further to say that, “the researchers do not understand the Swiss system,
the Swiss system does not require any private higher institution to subject
themselves to accreditation and those who do that do so because they want
grants from Government. The SMC is registered
in Ghana and can run its business officially and legally and can run its
programs in Ghana."
