Abstract

This research aims to explore students’ awareness about Accreditation in Lebanon. Researchers tested many variables among students. The research adopts a quantitative approach by collecting primary data through a 14 items-questionnaire given to students at different Universities in Lebanon. Researchers used SPSS software to analyze data and derive appropriate conclusions and implications. After conducting correlation and regression analysis, the study reaches four main conclusions. First, there is high awareness of Accreditation in higher education. Second, students are willing to pay higher tuition fees if the university is internationally accredited. Third, Accreditation makes it easier for students to transfer between majors and/or between colleges. Finally, rich students are less interested in accreditation. Some conclusions are not definite and need more research to detect the factors lying behind. There is not much research done in Lebanon targeting the Education sector and investigating the importance of student’s awareness regarding accreditation .Therefore, this study is vital because it explores a managerial sector of great importance in a country in which research is seldom conducted.
