This study explores quality assurance practices in the higher education system of the United States, focusing on implications for higher education in Kazakhstan. Examining these practices is crucial due to the prevalent use of peer review mechanisms in higher education quality management. Understanding how quality management operates in this context is essential for Kazakhstan's ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of its higher education system and align with international standards. The paper uses content-based analysis to scrutinise quality evaluation documentation, drawing insights from the U.S. quality assurance experience, using correlation analysis. The research findings reveal the importance of internal institutional assessment and evaluation procedures in improving the quality of higher education and fostering continuous enhancement processes. The conclusion offers insights into how the research findings can enhance quality management practices within the Kazakhstani higher education system. Recommendations include reconsidering accreditation agency guidelines and establishing a national independent organization to oversee the accreditation activities of accreditation bodies, ensuring quality education and providing ongoing training for quality managers in Kazakhstani higher education institutions.
