"A connected quality-assurance framework helps employers verify credentials faster and with more confidence, which can improve graduate mobility across markets," said David Sterling, senior credentialing analyst at Sterling Academic Advisory. He added that consistent documentation gives third-party reviewers a firmer basis for evaluating academic records.
Kennedy University also maintains Accreditation by the Association of the Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP), a Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA)-listed accreditor, and Approved Membership in the Americas Accreditation Council (AAC, formerly Accreditation Agency Curaçao), a Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA)-listed accreditor. Together, AUAP accreditation and its AAC standing extend the institution's international documentation footprint.
