On 11 August, the Universidad Mayor de Chile became the first university in Chile to be accredited by the Ministry of Education from the U.S. government because of its high quality standards, which according to the U.S. government, are similar to those of universities in the USA. To obtain this certification, the Chilean centre was part of a strict evaluation process, which lasted five years, and was conducted by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, an agency under the Government of the United States. This comission also certifies United States universities such as Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Cornell and Columbia, and their role is to ensure that higher education institutions are fulfilling their purposes and addressing the public´s expectations.

The accreditation will allow Chilean students of this University to study both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in American institutions. The rector of the Universidad Mayor, Ruben Covarrubias said that with this progress, the doors of American universities are opening and creating new international opportunites for their students.
