New Format! Explore the accreditation standards through an immersive case study.
The Business Accreditation Seminar has undergone a significant transformation in its format! Experienced facilitators will lead you through an immersive case study, enabling you to enhance your skills by actively exploring the global standards and their practical application to a case institution.
Focusing on the AACSB Global Standards for Business EducationTM, the seminar will provide you with the knowledge and resources to avoid common challenges in the accreditation process.
