AMMAN, Oct. 19 (Petra) – The University of Jordan (UJ) has raised its total number of internationally accredited academic programs to 69 after its Bachelor of Land, Water, and Environment program in the School of Agriculture secured international accreditation from the US-based Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Concurrently, the university’s King Abdullah II School of Information Technology renewed its ABET accreditation for the Computer Information Systems program, according to an official statement released Monday.

The university stated that this achievement reflects its ongoing strategy to continuously upgrade academic curricula, align educational outcomes with international quality standards, and enhance graduate competitiveness across domestic and global labor markets.

The accreditation decisions followed comprehensive evaluation processes that reviewed study plans, faculty qualifications, laboratory infrastructure, learning outcomes, and their alignment with recognized international academic and professional benchmarks.

With this latest milestone, the School of Agriculture now holds five internationally accredited programs, while the King Abdullah II School of Information Technology holds three, with field evaluation visits scheduled for three additional IT programs in the near future.

The University of Jordan reaffirmed that broadening its portfolio of international accreditations reinforces institutional commitments to quality assurance, continuous improvement, sustainable academic development, and leadership in regional higher education.
