U.S. Higher Education and Accreditation

According to a report from the Institute of International Education, the Near East and North Africa region has the fastest growing international student population, with an increase of 20 percent in students enrolled in U.S. higher education. Despite this, the country of Algeria does not recognize the validity of degrees from U.S. colleges and universities. In February, five officials from the Algerian Ministry of Education are scheduled to visit Cleveland to learn about the city’s educational institutions and organizations. While in Cleveland, visitors will explore the workforce, themes, and programs related to American higher education and accreditation.
