DEREE-The American College of Greece
The undergraduate division of the college was renamed DEREE College in 1973 in honor of a generous benefactor from Chicago, William S. Deree (born Derehanis in Greece). DEREE is an American-sponsored, independent, coeducational, nonsectarian, and nonprofit educational institution accredited in the United States, and by virtue of its accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) its degree is recognized worldwide as equivalent to those provided by American universities. Today, it has two campuses both located in Athens, Greece. There are two schools: School of Arts and Sciences, and School of Business Administration.
