Medan (Unimed) – Almost the majority of Unimed study programs in 2016 is preoccupied with the preparation and implementation of the visitation for accreditation from BAN-PT. Accreditation activities are a five-year routine for a study program and institution in every public and private university. The accreditation implementer is an assessor who is sent by the National Accreditation Board of Higher Education (BAN-PT) which is an independent institution in charge of carrying out accreditation of all study programs and institution of a campus. Accreditation for a campus is a form of recognition of the quality of management, infrastructure, curriculum, human resources, scientific publications, cooperation and student achievement. Even the various employment agencies in the admissions process has required the applicant’s morning must come from accredited colleges A and B. This explains that the value of accreditation has become a reference of a quality campus and not.
In the third week of June 2016, three study programs that have improved the quality are visited by assessors, namely: 1) FE Accounting Education Program conducted on 13-14 June 2016, Chairman Prodi Dra. Effi Aswita Lubis, M.Pd, with Professor Asesor. Dr. Sutrisno, SE, Ak, M.Si, from Univ. Brawijaya and Dr. H. Cipto Wardoyo, SE, M.Pd, M.Si, Ak. CA. from Univ.
