It is important to know the academic quality of higher education institutions nationwide; for this reason, the main objective of this research was to analyze the evaluation and accreditation process of the University of Guayaquil. Through the qualitative methodological approach, it allowed to develop the structure and analysis of the evaluation processes that this institution has gone through and the categories it has had. With the perspective of a literary review, the theory that supports the study work was structured; as well as the most relevant results of the penultimate evaluation made to the Higher Education Institutions of Ecuador. Among the most relevant results was the improvement in the academic and investigative part, going from a low teaching staff and zero scientific production to teachers with admission by merit competition and greater scientific and regional publication, respectively. In addition to this, increased policies and financial aid as affirmative action so that students have equal opportunities in access to education, and an increase in retention rates that allowed them to continue their studies and not drop out due to the lack of economic resources.

Keywords : accreditation; University of Guayaquil; evaluation; higher education.
