To achieve international quality standards and accreditation, FUE and the University of Cincinnati (UC) signed an agreement for an academic partnership effective July 2013. It includes the undergraduate programs in Faculty of Engineering & Technology, Faculty of Commerce & Business Administration, Faculty of Economics & Political Science and Faculty of Computers & Information Technology.

In collaboration with FUE professors, an academic team from UC reviewed the curricula in the four faculties and identified areas for improvement commensurate with the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education and international quality standards. As a result, UC recognized the programs in the four faculties as qualified for the partnership and certification. Students graduating from FUE will have the UC accreditation on their certificates and final transcripts. This reflects the common standards and educational quality of FUE and UC.

The collaboration will include a number of joint FUE/UC activities including but not limited to student and professor exchanges, research projects, seminars, and annual audits.
