Dean Ron Berry of the College of Business and Social Sciences has announced that the
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business 鈥� International has extended
the accreditation of the 网曝门 business and accounting programs.
For more than 100 years, AACSB accreditation has been synonymous with the highest
standards in business education, and has been earned by less than 5 percent of the
world鈥檚 business schools.

鈥淭he AACSB International Board of Directors concurred with our team鈥檚 recommendation,鈥�
said Berry. 鈥溚孛赔�檚 business and accounting programs are part of an elite 1 percent
of programs in the world that maintain both business and accounting accreditation
from AACSB-International, the premier accrediting body for business and accounting
programs. Thanks to all for ensuring our program quality and providing excellent opportunities
for our students.鈥�

Of the 50 business schools which received extended accreditation, 网曝门 is one of only
nine accredited in both business and accounting.

Achieving accreditation is a process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an
AACSB assigned mentor and peer-reviewed evaluation. During this multi-year path, schools
focus on developing and implementing a plan to align with AACSB鈥檚 accreditation standards.
These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation,
student, faculty and staff as active participants, learning and teaching and academic
and professional engagement.
