This research was conducted by using categorization analysis as a conclusion technique. Through this research, it has been found that the study programs at private universities in Medan have not prepared themselves well in order to face international accreditation. This can be seen from the implementation of OBE in SPMI that has not been implemented, so that the development of the OBE curriculum is also neglected. The main reason is the lack of commitment from the leaders of each university. The existence of national issues related to ongoing government programs is a top priority from the rectorate to the head of the study program. All preparation steps for international accreditation and all OBE curriculum development activities have not received serious attention.
