The agreement signing today is one of the most important conditions to get accreditation from the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Committee in the Ministry of Higher Education.

Adding, the two universities are waiting for the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Committee response to their request after fulfilling the program’s conditions.

In the today’s signed agreement terms, the two universities will announce admission start to students wishing to join. An-Najah National University students will be on university campus in Nablus while the Arab American University students will be at Ramallah campus. Faculty members of each of the two universities teach in the program each according to their specialization, students wishing to join the program may attend courses in either of the two as long they obey all courses requirements at that campus.

Regarding issuing the certificate, after completing requirements to obtain a master degree, one certificate will be issued for the student with the two universities names and logos.

A joint committee will be set up of the two universities to prepare the instructions for obtaining a master degree in this program, follow-up its implementation and solve any problems that may face its implementation. They’ll also determine the mechanism of delivery and retention of documents, admission requirements for enrolled students, registration system, and instructions for granting the master degree between the two universities.
