Accreditation and Governance in Universities

Accreditation is a formal recognition that a university meets specific quality standards in education, ensuring that its programs are credible and valued by employers and other institutions. It involves regular assessments by independent evaluators. Governance in universities refers to the structure and processes through which they are managed and operated, including decision-making bodies like boards and committees. Effective governance ensures accountability, transparency, and the strategic direction of the university, promoting the interests of students, faculty, and the community while maintaining academic integrity and enhancing the institution's reputation. Together, accreditation and governance support quality education and institutional excellence.
