The student is responsible for making arrangements with the appropriate test provider and Fulbright. Accreditation Accreditation is the system used in the United States to determine if institutions of higher education meet acceptable levels of educational quality. It is a system of peer evaluation, whereby those who have been awarded accreditation, meet a set of criteria imposed by the recognized accrediting body. There are two levels of accreditation, regional and professional. There are six regional accrediting bodies, responsible for accrediting institutions of higher education incorporated within their regional boundaries.
Regional accreditation looks at the college or university as a whole.
Students from Cyprus should choose a regionally accredited institution when selecting a college or university. Professional Accreditation Professional accreditation exists in fields where professional competence is of broad concern, such as engineering, nursing, business and more. The importance of professional accreditation varies from field to field. The following table provides a list of the professional accrediting bodies in the United States and where available, their homepage. Although we have tried to be comprehensive, the Cyprus Fulbright Commission cannot assure that the list is all inclusive.
