Obtaining academic accreditation enhances confidence in the educational institution that has been accredited by the community, and increases the chances of its success and excellence. It is a way for the college to be more attractive, and better able to attract distinguished faculty, researchers, administrators, as well as attentive students.
Therefore, the Faculty of Science was keen to speed up obtaining accreditation by achieving its requirements. After the conciliation of Allah and then the tireless work of the administration of the College, with its departments, various units, and its students, the College obtained programmatic academic accreditation for all programs at the undergraduate level, namely mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, in addition to the Master's program in Mathematics from the International Accreditation Commission (ASIIN) Therefore, this accreditation constitutes an important step for the College, towards providing world-class educational and research services.
It also enhances confidence in them, as they aim to invest in the human element that forms the basis of overall development. It helps the college to move forward in ensuring the quality of the performance of its various departments and units and the performance expected of them in relation to the educational, research and service process in accordance with specific mechanisms and frameworks set by the accreditation system of the accredited body.
The accreditation was the culmination of the efforts of the Deanship of the College and its agents in both male and female students and the educational and administrative bodies in the departments of the College and its various units to upgrade the educational and research process and provide all possible means of development, especially the effort of the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Committee in the College under the supervision of my colleague Prof. Dr. Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Turki, Vice Dean for Administrative Affairs as well as the Quality Committees in the departments of the College and I do not forget the role of our male and female students and their insistence on qualitative educational achievement.
It is worth mentioning that accreditation is an important first step to achieving quality that will be followed, God willing, by continuous cooperation between the College and ASIIN to promote the application of international standards in the educational, administrative and research work of the College, because development is a sustainable process, and requires continuous follow-up of the latest theories and developments in the educational and research curricula and support services.
On this occasion, I am pleased to extend my thanks and appreciation to His Excellency the Rector of Qassim University, Prof. Dr. Khalid bin Abdulrahman Al-Hammoudi, whose great material and moral support to the College had the greatest impact, after the conciliation of God, in obtaining the college international accreditation, as well as thanking the Vice President for Planning, Development and Quality, Prof. Dr. Sulaiman bin Abdulaziz Al-Yahya, who had a distinctive role in standing with the College until it received accreditation, and thanks are extended to the Vice-Deans of the University and I do not forget the special support of the Deanship of Quality. The accreditation is led by its dean, Dr. Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Mushaiqah.
Prof. Dr. Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Turki, Vice Dean of the College of Science for Administrative Affairs and Supervisor of Quality and Accreditation Works at the College, expressed his happiness with the international academic accreditation obtained by the College, especially as it comes to achieve the mission and vision of the College, which is based on the aspirations of the University in this field and in response to the directives of its administration.

The team also praised the scientific production published by faculty members during the past years where a number of researches were published in scientific journals classified globally.
Prof. Dr. Al-Turki pointed out that the international academic accreditation obtained by the college is the result of the great and serious efforts made by the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Unit, the quality subcommittees of the scientific departments, the members of the faculty and all the employees and employees of the college, which began three years ago to prepare a review of the study plans of the college's programs, and complete the preparation and collection of all accreditation documents.
For his part, Prof. Dr. Sulaiman bin Saleh Al-Dheeb, Dean of the Faculty of Science (formerly) and one of the pioneers of this achievement, said that accreditation was achieved only thanks to God and then through the follow-up and unlimited support of the leader of the first education, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, and those in charge of higher education in the Kingdom, and then the concerted efforts and cooperation of all.
He pointed out that the process of academic accreditation includes criteria related to the efficiency of faculty members, curricula, the development of the admission and registration system, in addition to the adoption of the college for self-evaluation, work on continuous development, study the weaknesses and strengths of its proposed programs and their relationship with community institutions and the labor market and the extent to which the skills mastered by graduates match the needs of different employment sectors in the country, the region and the world.
This requires strategic planning to ensure high levels and competition for outputs related to the university's well-known functions (education, scientific research, community service), which is what the Faculty of Science at Qassim University is proceeding with.
Prof. Dr. Al-Thieb stressed that the accreditation of the Faculty of Science will be reflected on all employees of the college and the faculty members will find global acceptance both in terms of graduate studies and in terms of accepting their research outputs and publishing them in distinct publishing vessels.
The Head of the Department of Physics, Dr. Saleh Abdullah Al-Ashra, said that the scientific departments in the Faculty of Science have long sensed the importance of programmatic accreditation.
I was very keen to apply quality standards to obtain accreditation for the college's programs. This accreditation is a real indicator of the quality of the departmental outputs. Which has a great impact on the preparation of specialized scientific cadres that contribute to the service of society, whether in the field of education, industry or other different areas of life. The scientific departments were keen to be accredited because this corresponds to the vision, mission and objectives of the college as well as the university.
Thankfully, the programs of the college obtained accreditation from the German Accreditation Authority for the physics program thanks to God and then the unlimited support provided by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his wise government for higher education and thanks to the distinguished efforts of the university administration and the staff of the Faculty of Science from faculty members, administrators and others, which had a great impact in obtaining accreditation. And getting certified is a means, not an end. Our goal is to continue and progress that brings the college and its employees with sophistication and excellence.
Dr. Bader bin Saleh Al-Muhaimid, Head of the Department of Mathematics at the College of Science, stressed that the College of Science's obtaining academic accreditation from the German Commission for International Program Accreditation (ASIIN) is an extension of the achievements, steady successes and global academic developments achieved by the University in multiple fields, and this achievement, which was recorded in international forums in the name of the homeland, is a clear indication of the scientific position occupied by the Kingdom at the moment.
Qassim University as Director and Senior Administration, and the Faculty of Science as Dean, Deans, Administration, Faculty Members and Students have the right to be proud of an unprecedented achievement that has made their college among the ranks of international colleges despite its modernity, and has given it the status of academic quality with an international certificate.
