Education
Accreditation structured around institutions, programs and degree levels.
IOQA’s education framework distinguishes institutional accreditation from specialized or programmatic accreditation and identifies associate, bachelor and master degree levels.

Types of accreditation
Two distinct ways to evaluate educational quality.
Institutional Accreditation
Evaluates overall institutional quality, but does not focus on specific academic programs.
Specialized or Programmatic Accreditation
Evaluates an academic unit or individual program of study rather than an institution as a whole. A specific academic unit or program can be granted accreditation at associate, bachelor and master degree levels.
