Kristal University has received accreditation from the Ministry of Education and Science for the First-Level Diploma (DNP) in Law and the Second-Level Integrated Diploma (DIND) in Pharmacy. As of 2012, it is awaiting decisions from the Albanian Public Agency for the Accreditation of Higher Education [3] on the accreditation of its other faculties and is in the process of application for international accreditation.[citation needed] In May 2012, the Albanian government withdrew KU's accreditation for one year due to a major scandal (see below).[4] Its accreditation was withdrawn and the University closed by the Ministry of Education in 2014.[5]
