Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation

The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA) is an international educational accreditation agency. It is the most rapidly growing accrediting agency in the world. It was created in 1994 by regional accrediting organizations in the United States following a long history of collaboration under other auspices. As a global leader in accreditation, CITA provides systems of accreditation around the world. CITA standards promote quality schools and continuous improvement to enhance student success. CITA provides standards for education systems and develops customized accreditation protocols. CITA accreditation engages CITA schools in the world's largest network of accredited schools.

Comprised of the premier American educational accrediting agencies, CITA provides customized accreditation protocols and standards for schools that cross the USA regions and for national and international schools around the world. CITA awards the accreditation. Participating regional commissions manage the accreditation protocol. Today, members of the CITA Alliance accredit more than 32,000 public and private educational institutions in 100 countries, touching over 17 million students.
