Accreditation of Educational Programs

Unlike authorization, which applies to the entire institution, Accreditation concerns specific educational programs. In Georgia, programs for regulated professions (law, medicine, teaching), as well as doctoral programs, are subject to mandatory accreditation. For other programs, accreditation is voluntary, but necessary to receive state grants. Accreditation confirms that the program complies with the National Qualifications Framework and labor market requirements. The process involves self-evaluation, expert assessment, and a council decision.
