The college became an accredited university once it met certain requirements.


Hi,
Is "an accredited university" in the above equal to "a qualified university?" Thanks.

No. I haven't heard the latter term.
 
'Accredited'means 'officially recognized'. 'Qualified' suggests 'meets the standard'. 

I suppose you might say that after a college qualifies as a university, it has to be accredited.
