International students find Belize a fascinating place to explore and learn, and Galen University is an institution which encourages access to practical applications of academic topics.
Facilities
Chartered in 2003, Galen University is still small enough in enrollments to afford students valuable attention from faculty and staff. The campus facilities are growing each year, with the addition of a student center in 2007. The campus master plan calls for an innovative tropical design to serve as an exemplary facility of sustainable development. The current facilities include classrooms, administrative and faculty offices, computer lab, library, and student center. The campus grounds are surrounded by a lush tropical setting, green with bamboo, an orange grove, coconut and mango trees, and a scenic variety of tropical plants.
Accreditation
Galen University is licensed and recognized by the Government of Belize and its Ministry of Education. In addition to its own recognized degree programs, Galen University has a partnership with the University of Indianapolis and offers several of its undergraduate degree programs. Those programs are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
