INTEAS accreditation elevates your institution’s profile on an international level, leading to increased student admissions and higher retention rates. As an accredited institution, you can also offer dual degree programs, equivalency, and legalization services to your students, further enhancing their educational opportunities.
In addition to accreditation, INTEAS also provides consulting services for continuous improvement processes, whether or not accreditation is the goal. We also conduct studies related to periodic updates of criteria and procedures for self-evaluation and accreditation, and offer training to academics and professionals in subjects related to accreditation processes.
