The higher education landscape in Morocco is undergoing both a quantitative and a qualitative growth. As the number of high school graduates continues to rise year after year, institutions are offering more options. In this context, Al Akhawayn University continues to provide world quality education.

The year 2016-17 has been rich in many ways. Several achievements can be emphasized, the first of which the graduation of the 20th cohort with over 400 students, which brings the number of alumni to over 4,700. This year has also seen substantial progress in quality assurance and international recognition. As a matter of fact, two programs were ABET accredited for the first time (Engineering Management Systems and General Engineering) while the Computer Science program was re-accredited . Meanwhile, the bachelor program of the Business School saw its Epas accreditation renewed by the EFMD. Finally, substantial progress was made in the university NEASC accreditation as the final accreditation visit took place in March.

The university kept growing and building the necessary infrastructure that needs to accompany that growth. In the Fall of 2016, the total student population of the university was over 2260, and in the Spring semester, the university inaugurated and started using the new academic building called 8-B, with 16 classrooms, 25 offices of many different sizes, and an auditorium.

As for internationalization, which is one of the key objectives of the university’s strategic plan, Al Akhawayn continued to collaborate at the international level, as it signed a number of international agreements with universities and institutions from several countries. Over 50% of the graduating students had spent a semester abroad of Al Akhawayn students while the university hosted over 150 international students during that academic year, from many different countries around the world. The university also committed to host three high level international conferences, respectively of the Global Liberal Arts Alliance (GLAA), of the Réseau d’excellence des dirigeantes et dirigeants universitaires en gouvernance et en gestion (Réseau Dg2), and of the Abrahamic Faiths.

Al Akhawayn faculty continued to be very active in research, as they published 4 new books, 40 articles in refereed journals in their main fields of expertise, including renewable energy, software security, and international affairs.

From a financial point of view, the university continued to balance its budget despite all the investments and expansions it underwent throughout the academic year.

I can safely say that Al Akhawayn is holding its course and contributes significantly to the enrichment of the higher education landscape in Morocco and in the region.
