Abstract :
Today the process of accreditation of educational programs is widely recognized as the most efficient factor to improve the quality of education. It is crucial to develop at universities systems of continuous programs improvement through an independent external accreditation of programs by national and international professional community. The formal outcome of an external examination is regarded as the credibility to the program from graduates´ consumers, and the main result is a real quality improvement of educational programs.
