Hi

Is the MBA program through distance learning with Milpark Business School in South Africa, internationally accredited?

No. You can use the "MBA Program Search" in the top left to check that.

I checked the website...and it mentions that it is accredited with all the relevant bodies in South Africa..and these can then be assessed against a foreign country if needed:

This was what was mentioned on their site...

In South Africa, all higher education programmes must be quality assured by the Council on Higher Education?s Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC). Once the HEQC has approved a programme, it is registered as such by the Department of Higher Education and Training and is also listed on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) which is administered by the South African Qualifications Authority (known to most of us as SAQA).
In other countries where an NQF is in place (for example, in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and most Scandinavian countries), the authorities will assess a South African qualification on the NQF against a
qualification on their own NQF and determine whether they are equivalent or not. In this way, qualifications are portable (from country to country) and transferable (from institution to institution).

In this way, we can speak of international recognition. All students in South Africa should insist on HEQC accredited higher education programmes that are registered on the NQF. In this way, if they wished to move to another country, they would be able to approach SAQA for assistance in obtaining recognition for their qualification in that country.

Yes, but these are different things. National accreditation means that you have met the minimum standards of a country. Meaningful international accreditation means that you are at the higher level of the AMBA, EQUIS or AACSB standards.
