The Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills granted Adler University a renewal of consent to use the term “University” in British Columbia, Canada. The approval, granted under section 4(1) of the Degree Authorization Act, follows a rigorous review process by the Degree Quality Assessment Board.
The renewal grants Adler University, a private nonprofit graduate institution, a five-year term of consent. The renewal underscores Adler’s continued commitment to providing quality higher education in the region. In addition, all master’s and doctoral degree programs have the Ministry’s Education Quality Assurance (EQA) designation, which means the institution meets or exceeds quality assurance standards set by the Province of British Columbia.
“The renewal of consent to use the term ‘University’ in British Columbia stands as a testament to Adler’s unwavering dedication to academic excellence and integrity,” said Bradley O’Hara, Ph.D., executive dean of the Vancouver Campus. “It reaffirms our commitment to fostering transformative education and preparing graduates to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges.”
