Quality Assurance


The University has adopted a range of quality assurance procedures designed to ensure that its practices meet high standards and that the University's distinctive vision is sustained.

As an independent global university and non-governmental organization, European-American University is itself charged with responsibility for its own quality assurance processes and with the validation of its academic programs, rather than being accredited by an external agency. European-American University Quality Assurance Division (EAUQAD) is the specialist division of the University established with responsibilities for quality assurance and establishing the relationship of the University's internal processes to reputable external standards.

Through EAUQAD, European-American University operates a formal Quality Management System as detailed through its Quality Assurance Policies (available via the link below). This system establishes the relationship between the University's processes and reputable external standards. These standards include:
  • the requirements of ISO 9001:2000. The International Standardization Organization (ISO) is the only quality assurance system recognized by intergovernmental agreement between 148 different countries, and is based on the principles of stakeholder satisfaction and continual improvement through quality management systems. Many universities around the world have implemented the internationally recognized ISO 9001:2000 standard, and the ISO encourages institutions to adopt the standards in both self-certification and external audit processes. The ISO site may be visited here.
  • the Principles of Good Practice for Electronically Offered Academic Degree and Certificate Programs of the Western Co-operative for Educational Telecommunications, which may be read here.
  • the Professional Standards of the American Association of University Administrators, which may be read here.

In addition to its quality assurance practices, EAUQAD's services to EAU also include the provision of external oversight for new programs and adjunct faculty appointments (including external examination), and for the processes of student admission and assessment.
