AACSB Accredited

Why AACSB International Accreditation?

AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide.

AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education.

AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:

  • Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
  • Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
  • Provide high-caliber teaching of quality and current curricula.
  • Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.

Spring 2021, the College was reaffirmed as an AACSB member institution in both Business and Accounting.
