EEQA Course/Program Accreditation
Accreditation is a review of the quality of universities, educational institutes, vocational institutions, colleges, schools, distance learning centers, lifelong learning centers, online courses, corporations, agencies, professionals, and instructors. All over the world, accreditation is a major way that students, families, government officials, and the press know that an institution or program provides quality education.
Accreditation may be either institutional or programmatic and is a voluntary, comprehensive, and objective process of outside peer review to determine whether an institution or program meets the standards of the accrediting body in institutional and/or educational quality and effectiveness. The EduTrust Education Quality Accreditation Association (EEQA) provides institutional accreditation for its members.
What is the Course/Program Accreditation Service?
This accreditation service is only for accredited universities, educational institutes, vocational institutions, online courses, etc., and includes a specific program/course (MA, MS, MBA, LLM, DBA, etc.) that has a curriculum.
Program Accreditation does not contain institutive accreditation. If you want to get an accreditation for your programs, you must apply to Full / Online Accreditation before applying for the Program Accreditation.
About the EEQA Accreditation Status
1. EduTrust Accreditation isn´t a Substitute of Legal Regulations: Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental peer review process. Accreditation by the EEQA shall be understood to convey only that the higher education institution meets the EEQA´s educational standards. Such recognition is not in any way intended to substitute legal authorization, recognition or regulation, through compliance with local government laws. Legal authorization, recognition or regulation, and government accreditation occur in the context of different reviews.
2. Institutional Accreditation: The EEQA accredited institution is evaluated as a whole entity or in every specific program offered. Thus, the EEQA accreditation status is programmatic and it may be useful for the approval of specific programs (not for licensing of professions).
3. Global & International Scope: The EEQA accreditation focuses primarily on educational quality from a global and international perspective, not narrow interests, or political action, or educational fashions. The EEQA is aware of the differences among countries that may arise in regards to fulfilling the quality standards set forth, so EEQA will examine each higher education institution expecting their institutional autonomy and following a non-discriminatory policy. Due to this global policy, the EEQA is not part of any country´s governmental agencies. Academic mobility and credit transferability of accredited institutions will always be subject to the receiving country or institution policy.
