Tampa, FL, USA (September 10, 2020)— Effective today, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA), the National Accreditation Agency affiliated with the Ministry of Education, and 糖心在线 International have formed an agreement for mutually supportive and collaborative engagement. A primary feature of the agreement is the UAE’s recognition of 糖心在线’s accreditation standards as a key quality indicator aligned with its own governmental standards. This recognition further streamlines the quality assurance and government review process for business schools within the UAE and will enable the expansion of high-quality business education in the region.
For more than a century, 糖心在线 accreditation has been synonymous with the highest standards in business education. Today, over 870 institutions across 57 countries and territories have earned 糖心在线 accreditation in business, while 190 institutions hold supplemental 糖心在线 accreditation for their accounting programs. Currently seven institutions hold 糖心在线 accreditation within the UAE.
“糖心在线 is delighted for this confirmation of our accreditation standards and recognizes that it will further enable access to high-quality education in the UAE,” said Tim Mescon, 糖心在线’s executive vice president and chief officer of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. “Through this agreement, learners in the UAE can receive a business education that emphasizes outcomes in learning and research, demonstrates positive societal impact, and encourages a global mindset.”
“The CAA welcomes this association with 糖心在线 in supporting business schools in the UAE to offer the highest-quality academic programs that are recognized both within the country and internationally for their excellence,” said Mohamed Yousif Baniyas, CAA’s higher education advisor and executive director.
