IAPS 4.0

The Study Program Accreditation Instrument (IAPS 4.0: PerBaAN-PT No. 5 of 2019) was developed by BAN PT to support the development of the higher education sector in Indonesia that follows global developments. This is the fourth development cycle, where the initial version of the accreditation instrument was launched in 1996, the second version in 2000 and the third version in 2008.

• Type of education, namely vocational, academic, professional
• Educational programs, namely diploma, bachelor, applied bachelor, master, applied master, professional, specialist, doctoral, and applied doctoral programs
• Learning mode, namely face to face and long distance

1. Vision, Mission, Objectives and Strategies
2. Governance, Governance and Cooperation
3.  College student
4.  Human Resources
5.  Finance, Facilities and Infrastructure
6.  Education
7.  Research
8.  Community service
9.  Tridharma's Outcomes and Achievements

IAPS 4.0 consists of the Self Evaluation Report (LED: Appendix 3 of PerBAN-PT No. 5 of 2019) and the Study Program Performance Report (LKPS: Appendix 4 of PerBAN-PT No. 5 of 2019).
