What is Program Accreditation?

Program accreditation is an external quality assurance process in which an academic program in higher education is evaluated by authorized accreditation agencies to determine whether it meets field-specific and predefined academic standards.
In Türkiye, the processes related to the authorization and recognition of accreditation agencies are carried out within the framework of the principles and criteria established by the Turkish Higher Education Quality Council (THEQC). In this context, national accreditation agencies are authorized, while international accreditation agencies are recognized. In addition, information regarding programs accredited by accreditation agencies authorized or recognized by THEQC is included in YKS Higher Education Programs and Placement Guideline.
