Accreditation Process

Earning AACSB accreditation signifies a business school’s commitment to strategic management, learner success, thought leadership, and societal impact.

Overview

AACSB accreditation provides a framework for quality assurance and continuous improvement in business education. Grounded in the AACSB Global Standards for Business Education™, accreditation recognizes schools that demonstrate a commitment to high-quality business education through strategic management, learner success, and meaningful impact.

Principles-Based, Outcomes-Focused

AACSB accreditation combines rigorous self-assessment with peer review to evaluate a school's alignment with the spirit and intent of the Global Standards. Rather than prescribing a single path to excellence, the process is mission-driven and considers each school's unique context, strategies, and priorities.

Experienced peer reviewers apply professional judgment to evaluate the quality of a school's learning experiences and outcomes, its alignment with the standards, and its commitment to continuous improvement. Through a collegial and consultative process, peer review both assures quality and helps schools identify opportunities to innovate, improve, and increase their impact.
