Achieving AACSB accreditation is a mission-driven, rigorous process that includes an in-depth assessment of internal activities, mentorship with an AACSB advisor, and a peer-reviewed evaluation focused on continuous improvement. During this multi-year path, schools focus on developing and implementing a plan to achieve their mission and align with AACSB Global Standards for Business Education™. These principles-based standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation, research, and teaching and learning.
