Documents and reports related to all MiAK activities, including accreditation processes and outcomes, are archived according to the procedures defined in the “MiAK Archiving Directive”.

 

3.1.b ACCREDITATION DECISIONS

In 2023, 10 programs applied to MiAK for accreditation, and 1 program from the previous period was added. Of the 11 programs, 2 institutions did not submit their Self-Evaluation Reports but stated their intention to continue in the 2024 schedule. The remaining 9 programs submitted their reports. One of these requested a postponement due to budget constraints. Thus, evaluation teams were formed and site visits conducted for 8 programs. The accreditation decision of one visit was deferred to 2025. As of 2024, the programs listed in Table 1 have completed their accreditation procedures.

In September 2023, applications for the 2024 MiAK-MAK Accreditation Calendar were received.

Two institutions applied to the 2024 calendar, and two institutions were carried over from the previous calendar. One of the transferred institutions suspended the process due to insufficient budget for transportation, accommodation, and meals during the visit. The other institution could not prepare the Self-Evaluation Report on time. All of these programs submitted their reports; however, one program (Sakarya University) requested to postpone its evaluation process before the visit and continued in 2025. Another program’s (Akdeniz University) site visit was postponed to 2025 as well. Therefore, only two site visits were conducted in 2024.
