With this, Dong-A University has acquired the 'Accreditation' qualification consecutively from the 1st cycle (2013) and 2nd cycle (2019) to the 3rd cycle (2023), maintaining the accreditation qualification for five years until 2028.

This evaluation consisted of five evaluation areas and 30 evaluation criteria, conducted through document review and on-site visits.

Dong-A University received a 'Pass' rating in all five evaluation areas of the university institutional accreditation: ▲Area 1 ‘University Ideology and Management’ ▲Area 2 ‘Curriculum and Teaching-Learning’ ▲Area 3 ‘Faculty and Staff’ ▲Area 4 ‘Student Support and Facilities’ ▲Area 5 ‘University Performance and Social Responsibility’, thereby obtaining the accreditation qualification.

Based on this accreditation qualification, Dong-A University plans to steadily promote government-funded projects such as the University Innovation Support Project.

The university institutional accreditation is conducted according to the accreditation standards presented by the Korea University Education Council-affiliated Korea University Accreditation Institute. It is a system that determines whether a university meets the basic requirements as a higher education institution, announces the results, and grants social trust.

In particular, from the 2025 academic year, universities that have obtained financial soundness and institutional accreditation will be eligible for national scholarship support, student loans, and participation in financial support projects, increasing the importance of obtaining university institutional accreditation more than ever.

President Lee said, “I believe that obtaining the 3rd cycle university institutional accreditation is the result of the dedication and efforts of all university members,” and added, “As a representative regional flagship private university, we will strive harder to enhance university competitiveness and achieve mutual growth with the region.”

In the second half of 2023 university institutional accreditation, 56 universities applied, 49 universities obtained ‘Accreditation’, 5 universities received ‘Conditional Accreditation’, and 2 universities were evaluated as ‘Accreditation Postponement’ and ‘Non-Accreditation’, respectively.
