YEREVAN. – It will become clear in 2013 as to whether or not Yerevan State University (YSU) will receive international accreditation, YSU Rector Aram Simonyan stated during a press conference on Monday.

He also informed that YSU’s international institutional accreditation process had commenced several months ago. A delegation from the respective Dutch service will arrive in Armenia’s capital city Yerevan, this December, and evaluate the University’s self-analysis and point to the shortcomings.    

“We already have sent the first report. Dozens of teams are working on that report, and self-analysis is a very hard work,” noted Aram Simonyan. He added that the second consulting committee will arrive in Armenia in March 2013 and offer its final assessment on YSU and two or three other institutions of higher education in the country.
