Woolf
Breathe For Change is a member college of Woolf, a European Higher Education Institution. Master’s degrees and Post-Graduate certificates will be jointly issued by Breathe For Change and Woolf, with Woolf as the accredited institution.
Degree Recognition by School Districts
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure their districts accept Master’s degrees and/or Post-Graduate Certificates for salary advancement, and that they are eligible for this advancement upon earning a Master’s degree. In order to get a U.S. school district or other institution to recognize the certificate or degree, students may need to go through the process of transferring a foreign degree, which may require evaluation from a certified evaluation service. Breathe For Change will reimburse the cost of evaluation (typically $100-$150) up to a maximum of $200.
Accreditation
Pending Accreditation
Breathe For Change’s Master’s Degree and Post-Graduate Certificate programs are in the process of accreditation.

Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA)
The Post-graduate Certificate and Master’s Degree programs are undergoing accreditation* from the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA).
