The University of Jordan reached a total of 69 internationally accredited academic programs as of 19 October 2026. This milestone reflects the ongoing efforts by the institution to align its educational offerings with global standards. Officials at the Amman campus confirmed that the current figure represents the result of multi-year evaluations conducted by various external bodies. These accreditation processes focus on curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, and student outcomes across diverse fields of study. The university administration continues to prioritize the expansion of its international portfolio to enhance the global competitiveness of its graduates. By securing these credentials, the institution aims to increase the professional mobility of its students in the international labor market.
New Accreditation for Agriculture
The Bachelor of Land, Water, and Environment program in the School of Agriculture at the University of Jordan received international accreditation from the US-based Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This recognition follows an evaluation process conducted by the board to verify that the curriculum meets international standards for engineering and technology education.
Following this development, the School of Agriculture currently holds five internationally accredited programs. These programs maintain their standing through periodic reviews aimed at ensuring the quality of instruction and faculty resources remain consistent with the requirements established by ABET. University officials at the Amman campus monitor these internal standards to ensure academic programs continue to align with global benchmarks for professional training in agricultural and environmental sciences.
Information Technology Program Renewals
The King Abdullah II School of Information Technology at the University of Jordan completed the renewal of its Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation for the Computer Information Systems program. This process ensures the curriculum remains aligned with the technical standards established by ABET for information technology education.
The King Abdullah II School of Information Technology currently maintains three internationally accredited programs. These credentials serve as a benchmark for the quality of instruction and the resources available to students enrolled in the school’s technology curricula. University officials at the Amman campus manage these accreditation cycles to verify that academic offerings meet the specific criteria required by the accrediting body for continued professional recognition.
Field evaluation visits are scheduled for three additional IT programs at the University of Jordan in the near future. These upcoming assessments represent the next phase of the university’s initiative to broaden its international accreditation portfolio within the information technology department. Representatives from the external evaluation board will conduct on-site reviews of laboratory facilities, faculty credentials, and course syllabi during these visits. The administration expects these evaluations to provide a foundation for the potential expansion of the school's total number of accredited degree paths.
