Challenge
GCAS needed to establish global recognition and credibility for its unique hybrid educational model, which blends in-person experiences with virtual learning. Despite its robust program and alumni success in securing employment with unaccredited degrees, GCAS sought to expand and set itself apart from other fringe institutions. This required an efficient accreditation solution to validate its degree programs in humanities, psychoanalysis, and philosophy.
Solution
Rather than navigating the complex and costly accreditation process alone, GCAS sponsored the creation of a Woolf college. The college gave them access to an internationally recognized accreditation framework while maintaining their academic independence. With the Academic Management System (AMS), GCAS seamlessly integrated compliance into its infrastructure, ensuring its programs met global education standards.
Results
- Enrollment surged by 200%, growing from 80 to 170 students.
- Increased student confidence, as recognized degrees made GCAS a more attractive option.
- Global recognition, with accredited degrees acknowledged in 60+ countries.
- Operational efficiency, allowing faculty to focus on education while Woolf’s central administration handled compliance.
