AECSA is a non-profit organisation set up to investigate and categorise the educational standards of universities and professional organisations
around the world.
Over the years it has investigated over 1,000 universities and professional bodies, and list all who meet its high certification standards as
"approved" organisations. AECSA also lists universities and professional bodies that are of a dubious nature
under headings such as "degree mills" and "non-traditional"
institutions on this website.
AECSA also undertakes the ranking of universities and professional bodies
by specialisation, either by itself or via the rankings published by leading educational establishments, newspapers and professional journals...

In most countries the word University is a protected name, and granted to institutions after significant demonstration of academic rigor and research scholarship. AECSA considers as "accredited" only those universities accredited by the 5 regional accrediting agencies in the USA, or those that have a Government or Royal Charter such as a university in the UK or Australia would normally have.
The following university accreditations have been verified by AECSA, and the institutions have been listed as being properly accredited universities in the world where English is the principal mode of instruction (other languages such as Spanish, French and Mandarin will be incorporated later).
