Government support set-up's are key to any education system. One must observe what the government says about its rules and regulations regarding its respective academic curriculum. From there you can decide on whether your institution fits into the proper guidelines, that is from accreditation, location and even financial obligations. These should be on your check list before investing time into the university of your choice.
