Attending a foreign institution

I attend a foreign institution as a full-time graduate student, but at a university that is not on the list of accredited institutions listed by the U.S. Department of Education. I am entirely self-funded. It seems that I don't qualify for the AOTC, but are there other credits that could be applied towards my education expenses?

    No. Even the lesser Lifetime Learning Credit requires that you attend a school on the DOE list.
