AACSB Accreditation
The AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) International accreditation is the mark of quality most sought by business schools. AACSB Accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Less than 5% of the world's 13,000 business programs have earned AACSB Accreditation. AACSB-accredited schools produce graduates that are highly skilled and more desirable to employers than other non-accredited schools.

Other key measures include a commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
