A New Approach to Global Rankings

Superior Quality Assurance Solutions

The International Association for Advancing Higher Education collaborates with institutions around the world to deliver superior consulting and advisory services that are at the forefront of thought and practice in quality assurance in higher education.

Our team of experienced higher education professionals is dedicated to providing an extensive portfolio of innovative, leading-edge solutions that (1) are tailored to meet your individual needs and to the specific types of programs that you offer and (2) incorporate best practices and global standards of academic excellence.

In their standards for accreditation and recognition, both institutional and programmatic accreditation agencies and national and international recognition bodies around the world are increasingly emphasizing outcomes-based education – focusing especially on student learning and achievement. This emphasis on educational outcomes is reflected throughout our entire portfolio of consulting and advisory services. All of our quality assurance solutions incorporate outcomes-based measures of quality for both programmatic and organizational excellence, and support your efforts to obtain and maintain accreditation for your institution.

In delivering contracted services, we begin with our process of discovery in which we research, evaluate, and document (1) the institution’s organizational characteristics (e.g., vision, mission, and purposes; programs and curricula; student characteristics; academic and operational processes; human, financial, physical, and technological resources; etc.), (2) the institution’s specific strategic, operational, academic, and programmatic needs, and (3) the environmental challenges that the institution faces. This assessment of the institution’s characteristics, needs, and challenges will inform and serve as the basis for the development of customized solutions in the contracted service areas.
