Our Services

Each institution affiliated with the IABSP accepts the obligation to participate in a cycle of periodic evaluation through institutional self-evaluation and review by teams of peer evaluators. Teams conduct an evaluation review following completion of institutional self-evaluation in order to determine the extent to which an institution meets the Commission’s Standards. Team members, selected for their expertise, make recommendations to meet the Commission’s Standards, make recommendations for improvement, commend exemplary practices, and provide both the college and the Commission with a report of their findings.

INSTITUTION TYPES
The IABSP accredits institutions in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia which have as a primary mission the granting of associate degrees, but which may also award certificates and other credentials, including bachelor’s degrees, where the provision of such credentials is within the institution’s mission and, if applicable, as authorized by their governmental authorities. The AIABSP may accredit non-domestic institutions in other geographic regions at its discretion.

ACADEMIC QUALITY AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT INFORMATION
The Association requires each accredited institution to make public its Reports to the Commission, External Evaluation Team Reports, and Association Action letters, by placing the documents on the institution’s website as well as other locations accessible to students and the public.
