Global Accreditation Standards

Accreditation Standards

Many factors persuade and reveal the quality of education. AGC reviews the effectiveness of an institution's educational programs by evaluating the infrastructure that supports the delivery of programs as well as educational results, including student achievement.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for AGC accreditation, an institution must be:

  • Legally established and licensed by the state or government
  • In continuous operation for a minimum of TWO years prior to application
  • Have graduated at least one class of students from its longest program
  • Demonstrate financial stability
Standards

Self Evaluation Report (SER)

The institute should submit a comprehensive Self Evaluation Report covering all phases of institutional operation:

Name of the University and date of incorporation
Complete Address, Tel/Fax, URL and Email

Governance

The executive committee governs AGC and makes accreditation decisions on the recommendation of commissioners. Commissioners are experienced postsecondary educators and have been faculty members, administrators, and owners of institutions. Commissioners are elected by the Constituent Council, which comprises representatives of accredited institutions. Three public members, appointed by the Commission, also serve.
