Accreditation

The Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DS&AI) program complies with the national higher education accreditation and quality assurance standards issued by the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (AQAC) in Jordan.

These standards include both the General Accreditation Standards and the Special Accreditation Standards for academic programs. The General Standards address institutional requirements such as governance, quality assurance systems, human resources, student services, and physical and technological infrastructure. The Special Standards specify program-level requirements, including curriculum structure, credit hours, learning outcomes, assessment processes, faculty qualifications, and the specialized laboratories, computing infrastructure, and software resources required to support education in data science and artificial intelligence.

The program is designed, implemented, and periodically reviewed in accordance with these standards to ensure continuous compliance with national quality requirements while maintaining academic excellence and addressing the rapidly evolving needs of the data science and artificial intelligence disciplines.

The qualification has also been aligned and formally placed within the Jordan National Qualifications Framework (JNQF), ensuring that its qualification level, learning outcomes, and graduate competencies are consistent with the national qualification descriptors and framework requirements.

In addition, the program is aligned with the academic policies and quality assurance framework of The Hashemite University and incorporates internationally recognized best practices in data science and artificial intelligence education. The program is currently undergoing accreditation by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET, reflecting its commitment to internationally recognized quality standards and continuous quality improvement while enhancing the competitiveness of its graduates in national and international employment markets and supporting their pursuit of postgraduate studies and professional certifications.
