Accreditation is a non-governmental process which plays an important role in developing and maintaining the high quality education standards online. The Universal Council for Online Education Accreditation (EACOA) has been accreditating distance education programs offered by schools, colleges, and universities.

EACOA has accredited members all over the world. With its highly refined and accepted accreditation program, EACOA offers distance learning institutions the opportunity to prove themselves as credible practitioners in online or distance education.
