Faculty Standards and Tables Seminar (AP & EMEA)

Each day 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. CET | 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. SST

Join a cohort of your peers in virtual learning facilitated by globally recognized AACSB accreditation experts. Build skills and network in an interactive event focused on understanding AACSB 2020 Standards' requirements for faculty-related business accreditation standards. Learn how to complete the necessary tables through group interactions, breakout sessions, and targeted discussions.

Gain actionable insights on completing the AACSB tables (3-1, 3-2, and 8-1) in a convenient new virtual environment. Faculty resources, including sufficient and qualified faculty, are crucial elements of a successful business school and an important part of AACSB Accreditation under the 2020 accreditation standards.

Use examples in live workshops on calculating and reporting faculty intellectual contributions, sufficiency, qualifications, engagement and deployment of faculty. Discover best practices on how to align with the standards through effective faculty management and development plans.

Participants are encouraged to bring faculty-related data from their own institution to complete tables with your school’s information.

• Align research and faculty management policies with related standards and empower faculty to contribute to establishing and achieving the school’s mission and strategic objectives.
• Learn best practices and innovative examples from other schools in the context of accreditation.
• Build a peer support network.

"I found that answering the questions and going with us through the standards and actually helping us understand them were the seminar's most valuable aspects. In fact, the seminar gave a good illustration of the improvements AACSB made by introducing new standards"
