The American University of Bahrain (AUBH) has become the first University in the Kingdom to achieve eligibility to proceed with an Application for Accreditation with the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
Once awarded, AUBH would become the first higher education institution to be accredited by WSCUC in Bahrain.
A determination of eligibility is not a formal status with the WASC Senior College and University Commis-sion, nor does it ensure eventual accreditation.
It is a preliminary finding that the institution is potentially accreditable and can proceed within five years of its Eligibility determination to be reviewed for Candidacy or Initial Accreditation status with the Commission.
