The Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) is an internationally oriented European Institution for quality assurance and development in higher education. FIBAA aims to develop strict assessment guidelines for quality assurance in the field of higher education. The FIBAA international accreditation process goes through various stages in order to get a certificate and be recognized as an internationally accredited study program. This stage starts from the Self Evaluation Report (SER) document assessment process and the interview process with FIBAA representatives with lecturers, alumni, staff and students.

Field Assessment Activities for International Accreditation of FIBAA Religious Studies Study Program which was held on October 18-20, 2022. This assessment is a stage of interviews and visits by the FIBAA team to UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. On this occasion, the Religious Studies Study Program joined Cluster 2 along with the Islamic Religious Education Study Program and the Arabic Language and Literature Study Program. On October 18, 2022, the interview was held from 09.00 to 18.15 WIB, opening and interviewing with the Rector, Dean and Religious Studies Study Program of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta.

After a long assessment process, on March 28, 2023 FIBAA officially sent the accreditation results of 18 study programs. One of these 18 study programs is the Religious Studies study program which is part of cluster 2. This accreditation certificate was ratified in Bonn Germany and is valid until March 21, 2028. According to Dr. Dian Nur Anna as the head of the study program, the acquisition of the FIBAA certificate shows that the Religious Studies study program is a study program that is able to compete internationally. This long struggle and long wait has yielded satisfactory results with several important notes. This accreditation brings Religious Studies and UIN Sunan Kalijaga in general towards a World Class University. Hopefully with the achievement of FIBAA Accreditation, it will be able to increase the interest of high school students both at home and abroad to become students of the Religious Studies study program.
