Accredited Innovation Education Program (AInEP)
The Benefits of AlnEP® Accreditation
Accreditation of an Innovation Education Program by the Glnl Accreditation Center offers several valuable benefits - including
• Affirmation of the program's ongoing commitment to educational quality and continuous improvement in the field of Innovation.
• Peer recognition for achievement to a globally-recognized benchmark standard.
• Differentiation as one of a select group of educational programs that properly reflect and teach the modern philosophies and disciplines of Applied Business Innovation.
• The consequent ability to recruit and retain a larger, higher caliber body of students for the program.
Definition of an Innovation Education Program
For the purposes of GInl's accreditation process, the term 'Innovation Education Program' refers to any formal academic educational program that has been properly conceived, designed, and organized, and is presently properly supervised and delivered, to achieve a specific set of academic learning objectives relating in some way to applied business innovation.
This can include, but is not limited to, undergraduate degree programs, graduate degree programs (both at the masters and doctorate levels), multi-course executive education andor professional education programs, advanced learning certificates, and so on with other similar programs.
These programs can focus either directly on innovation itself as their topical centrepiece, or on adjacent areas that, when employed in a real-world business environment, have a direct bearing on an organization's abilities to pursue innovation in a formal organized manner.
Since this accreditation covers programs in their entirety, it is not necessary for their individual courses andor modules to secure accreditation independently of each other. All such courses and modules included in the program are fully covered under the one comprehensive accreditation for the program.
Accreditation of any one of an organization's educational programs does not in any way infer accreditation of any of its other educational programs. Each such program must secure its own accreditation. However, a coherent program that awards multiple degrees or certificates based on a common shared curricula and program design can be accredited as a single comprehensive program.
