The World Association of Universities and Colleges is an institutational accrediting body which is not recognized by the United States Department of Education. It is run by Maxine Asher, director of the American World University, an otherwise unaccredited school. Asher has stated that "laws in the U.S.A. prohibit the recognition of global accreditation associations."

The association was started in 1994 in Zürich, Switzerland. As of 2004 it lists 21 accredited schools, 3 schools with accreditation in progress, and 26 "members only" schools.
