Program Accreditations

Özyeğin University has prioritized the quality of education by national and international standards since its establishment and has set the goal of obtaining program accreditations to substantiate this. Our university has successfully obtained all the national and international accreditations it aimed for at the undergraduate program level. ÖzU achieved the remarkable feat of securing all these accreditations in the most extended possible duration and on the first attempt, making it the youngest university to have earned them. Emphasizing the attainment of program accreditations with the highest national and international standards, our university's relevant undergraduate programs have achieved the distinction of being the only programs accredited in Turkey by AABI (Aviation Accreditation Board International) and APCHA (Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration), both of which are based in the United States.
