EAPAA knows four categories of accreditation for public administration programmes:

• Bachelor programmes
• Master programmes (fulltime)
• Comprehensive master programmes (bachelor included)
• Post-experience or executive master programmes

Normal or full accreditation is possible when a programme has at least two cohorts of graduates. For programmes that don’t fulfil this criterion, two temporary forms of EAPAA acknowledgement are possible:

• Pre-accredited status for programmes that have a full operational curriculum (students in all years);
• Peer-approved status for programmes that are not fully operational, but have a complete curriculum developed.

The three forms of EAPAA acknowledgement have separate logo’s that might be used by the programme.

Misuse of an EAPAA logo is strictly forbidden! See the Logo Guidelines under the Download tab (category Accreditation) for details.
