Commission for Academic Accreditation (the CAA), part of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, is tasked to ensure that all educational degrees offered in the UAE meet the highest international standards. It has the authority to license non-federal educational institutions to grant degrees and other academic awards besides accrediting its programmes. CAA is a member of the Arab Network for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ANQAHE).
