Purpose
The PreAccreditation Committee (PAC) oversees the PreAccreditation Process, including the acceptance of Eligibility Applications, Accreditation Alignment Plans, and assignment of volunteers to serve as mentors. The oversight of this committee helps to ensure that the accreditation process is fair and consistent. For Business PreAccreditation applicants, the PAC forwards accepted Accreditation Alignment Plans to the Initial Accreditation Committee (IAC) for review.
 

Structure
The PAC is comprised of a minimum of nine members and a maximum of 20 members, plus a chair appointed by the board vice chair-chair elect. One member of the committee will be chosen by the board vice chair-chair elect to serve as vice chair of the committee. Committee members may be present and former business and accounting administrators, faculty members, and/or corporate executives. The chair is a business administrator from an AACSB-accredited institution. Committee members serve staggered three-year terms. Normally, the chair serves two consecutive one-year terms.
