Kennedy University documents its international accreditation, governmental authorizations, and institutional records across multiple global jurisdictions, including program accreditation for 8D020 Vocational Education in Paris and separate records for Kennedy University of Baptist.
PARIS, Ile-de-France, November 3, 2026 — Kennedy University reports international accreditation and institutional records that include AUAP quality-assurance standards accreditation and specialized IKCA program accreditation for 8D020 Vocational Education (professional track) at its Paris campus. Its other records include ministry authorizations in Galmudug State and Hirshabelle State, a French education-ministry administrative portal listing and academic memberships. Kennedy University of Baptist maintains its own institutional records.
Kennedy University uses Doctor of Professional Studies as its internal study-track label. The official program title in the IKCA decision is 8D020 Vocational Education (professional track).
Kennedy University said, “The IKCA decision gives students a program-specific external reference when considering 8D020 Vocational Education (professional track). Our priority is clear communication about what that decision covers, alongside the university’s other academic records. We want prospective students and graduates to have information relevant to their own study choices.”
