Accreditation In Canada, education is regulated by the Provincial governments.

At the postsecondary level, there is no accreditation or national ranking system for universities. Provincial governments grant charters to universities and authorize them to operate and grant degrees. The standards that must be met to operate a university and grant degrees are high and consistent across Canada, leading to a uniformly high quality of education at all Canadian universities. Students can be assured that if they study at a Canadian university that has degree-granting status approved by a provincial government, the programs offered meet the normal high standards expected of all universities in Canada. Following review of program proposals by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission, Meritus University received approval to offer its first three programs from the New Brunswick Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, thereby establishing degree-granting status. Application for programmatic approval was submitted to the New Brunswick Department of Post-secondary Education, Training and Labour on September 12, 2006. The proposed degree programs underwent an in-depth academic assessment by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission which, in the case of private education, reports its findings to the New Brunswick Department of Post-secondary Education, Training and Labour. On May 1, 2008 approval to offer the Master of Business Administration, Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Information Technology Management in all modalities, face-to-face, blended and online was granted.
