Committees, Mentors, and Volunteer Review Teams

Critical to the AACSB Accreditation process are volunteers from the global community of AACSB-accredited schools. These volunteers, significantly experienced in business education, provide individualized mentoring, quality reviews, and make decisions concerning schools that are seeking AACSB Accreditation.

For business schools and students, the volunteer review and mentoring aspect of AACSB Accreditation is significant. It provides expert consultative advice, as well as recognition and confirmation of high-quality by the business education community.

Volunteers ...

  • contribute directly to the advancement of business education.
  • share expertise by mentoring schools pursuing AACSB Accreditation.
  • travel to schools pursuing AACSB Accreditation for real-time reviews.
  • work with teams of volunteers in the review process.
  • serve on committees to ensure that AACSB Accreditation processes are fair and consistent.
