The Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance Council received on Sunday a request from Al-Rasheed Smart University for technical support to ensure the quality of seven academic programs: Medical Laboratory Sciences, Information Technology, Graphics and Multimedia, International Business Administration (English), International Business Administration (Arabic), Accounting (English), and Accounting (Arabic).

Dr. Al-Huboub commended the university’s progress in fulfilling its commitments and meeting accreditation requirements, describing this step as the beginning of on-site visits by Council committees to provide technical support, review files, assess readiness for program-level accreditation, and conduct relevant training workshops.
He emphasized that achieving quality requires resources, a clear reference framework, sound management, and a vision aligned with accreditation and quality standards, noting that the university is well-positioned to earn this national recognition given its capabilities.
For his part, Dr. Haidar praised the Council’s leadership and achievements in modernizing and developing academic programs, as well as providing technical and advisory support for self-assessment processes in various Yemeni universities. He affirmed that the university is now applying for technical support to accredit seven academic programs whose students have completed four years of study, highlighting the university’s establishment on quality principles and its steady progress in developing academic programs in line with accreditation standards, alongside providing modern facilities, medical laboratories, and technological resources in step with global developments.
