PARIS, Ile-de-France – 18th August 2026 – Kennedy University of Baptist and Kennedy University today introduced a new institution-by-institution presentation of records associated with the Kennedy University System. The Kennedy University of Baptist presentation organizes established accreditation, membership, educational and governmental documentation around the institution that holds each record, while directing attention to named registries, ministries, directories and organizational profiles behind the relationships.
Two Institutions, Distinct Record Portfolios
The new architecture presents Kennedy University with its IKCA program accreditation, AUAP Quality Assurance Standards accreditation, AAC Approved Membership, French educational record and Somali governmental records. Kennedy University of Baptist is presented with its ECLBS membership and Florida religious-college verification. Organizational memberships, agreements and consultative relationships are identified under the external organizations that hold them.
“The new presentation is designed so readers can begin with either institution and move directly toward the registry, ministry, directory or organizational profile connected with a particular record,” the Kennedy University System Communications Office said. “That structure makes institutional ownership and source provenance visible while preserving the distinct character of each academic, governmental and organizational relationship.”
Kennedy University Accreditation and Governmental Records
The IKCA Accredited Institutions Registry identifies Kennedy University’s Doctor of Professional Studies at the Paris campus under program accreditation. Separately, the CHEA International Directory lists the Independent Kazakhstan Center of Accreditation as the listed organization. Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education recognition and the country’s National Register of Recognized Accreditation Bodies are also presented under IKCA. IKCA’s membership records identify Full Membership in INQAAHE and CEENQA and Affiliate Membership in ENQA.
The AUAP Accredited Members Directory identifies Kennedy University’s Doctor of Professional Studies and Paris campus under Quality Assurance Standards accreditation. The CHEA International Directory separately lists the Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific. AUAP’s organizational profile presents its UNESCO consultative status under AUAP. The same organizational profile identifies a formal relationship between AUAP and WFUNA. WFUNA’s organizational record identifies its consultative-status relationship with ECOSOC.
Kennedy University also maintains Approved Membership in the Americas Accreditation Council, formerly Accreditation Agency of Curaçao. The CHEA International Directory lists AAC as an organization. AAC’s public recognition profile identifies relationships with the relevant education authorities in Curaçao and Anguilla, while its organizational materials reference WHED. ENQA’s membership database identifies AAC as an affiliate, and AAC’s organizational profile identifies its formal partnership with ACBSP.

French and Somali Institutional Documentation
The official French education-ministry web portal lists Kennedy University as a Centre d’enseignement à distance. Within that private distance-education framework, Kennedy University issues Private Institutional Degrees under its institutional academic authority. This French record gives the new presentation a government-source reference point alongside the institution’s separate quality-assurance records.
In Somalia, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education of Galmudug State is identified in Kennedy University’s Institutional Accreditation record. Galmudug ministry documentation also identifies governmental authorization associated with degree issuance within that jurisdiction. Separately, governmental authorization documentation involving the Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education of Hirshabelle State records Kennedy University’s authority for degree issuance within that jurisdiction.
Kennedy University of Baptist Records in Europe and Florida
Kennedy University of Baptist holds membership in the European Council of Leading Business Schools. ECLBS’s organizational profile identifies CHEA CIQG membership, while its recognition profile records a Bilateral Recognition Agreement with ANQAHE. ECLBS organizational materials also identify INQAAHE membership. Separately, ECLBS’s organizational profile records its relationship with the Union of International Associations. UIA’s organizational record presents its own consultative-status relationship with UNESCO under UIA.
In the United States, the Florida Department of Education Commission for Independent Education provides the governmental source associated with Kennedy University of Baptist’s Annual Verification as a Religious College. The Florida verification is presented as a Kennedy University of Baptist record within the system-wide architecture, alongside the institution’s separately held ECLBS membership.
Named Sources Behind the Presentation
The source structure brings the IKCA Accredited Institutions Registry, AUAP Accredited Members Directory, CHEA International Directory, INQAAHE and ENQA membership records, WHED references, the French education-ministry portal, Galmudug and Hirshabelle ministry records, AAC organizational materials, ECLBS recognition materials and the Florida Commission for Independent Education into a single editorial framework. Each source remains associated with the organization or institution to which its underlying record belongs.
Kennedy University and Kennedy University of Baptist together form the Kennedy University System. The institutional structure describes Kennedy University as the daughter university of Kennedy University of Baptist. Their academic framework provides reciprocal recognition of credits between the institutions and includes double-degree options involving both institutional names. The new source presentation places those academic relationships beside the separate external records held by each university.
