WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantic School of Business & Technology ("Quantic"), first accredited as a degree-granting institution in the United States in 2020, today received approval for full renewal of its accreditation. Quantic's accrediting body, the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), reviewed findings from a site visit with Quantic leadership in 2023 and voted to renew Quantic for 5 years, the maximum allowed renewal term. Valar Institute, a division of Quantic, was also renewed as part of this institutional review.

Quantic's CEO, Bill Fisher, commented: "We appreciate the rigor with which DEAC reviewed our online MBA and Executive MBA degrees. We take this renewal as another signal that our investments into program innovation and quality are paying off and further demonstrate our commitment to delivering unmatched value and outcomes for our exceptional students."

Quantic plans to pursue additional approvals in 2024 for selective and affordable online master's degrees in Business Analytics (MSBA) and Software Engineering (MSSE), as well as an online bachelor's degree program aimed to launch by 2026. Fisher continued: "With industry-leading student satisfaction and graduation rates, Quantic is well-positioned to broaden access to elite-quality higher education in business, technology, and data-oriented fields."

Leah Matthews, Executive Director and CEO of DEAC, added "Accreditation by DEAC is a reliable indicator of the value and quality of the distance education that an institution offers. In receiving another renewal of accreditation, I'm pleased to say that Quantic has demonstrated its commitment to educational standards and ethical business practices that assure quality, accountability, and improvement in higher education."
