Accreditation

Accreditation

On August 30, 2017, the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research awarded full recognition (accreditation) to The American University of Kurdistan. In doing so, AUK became the first and only private university in the Kurdistan Region to receive accreditation before graduating any of its students.

Governmental accreditation ensures that educational institutions meet and maintain standards of academic excellence. Colleges and universities around the world use accreditation status as a major criterion for admission to international research consortia and exchange programs. In addition, students holding degrees from accredited institutions are significantly more likely to be admitted to international graduate programs.

AUK is committed to raising the standards of higher education in the region and to providing its students with all the opportunities afforded to internationally respected universities. To that end, the university will continue to seek professional accreditations, partnerships with other prestigious organizations, and ultimately, institutional regional accreditation from the United States.
