Graduates of an accredited school have a much higher probability of acceptance at top-tier universities in North American, Europe, and beyond. Based on UAS graduate data, approximately 60% of our students attend university in the USA and Canada and 10-15% in Europe. This data strongly supports our school’s mission and goals.

Our recent re-accreditation, in the Spring of 2021, demonstrates the UAS ability to meet its goals through dedicated leadership and a sound commitment by faculty and staff to serve our Mission.  The accreditation re-affirms that despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, UAS is attending to the highest standards of international education and service to our learning community.
