Recently, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has given an announcement about twenty b-schools that have successfully extended their accreditation in business (two of them have also extended their accounting accreditation).
The Association is more than 100 years old, and in that time it has established itself as a global accrediting body for business schools and a means of connecting entrepreneurs, students and faculty, P&Q reports.
What Does It Take to Gain an AACSB Accreditation?
An accreditation from AACSB has always meant a high standard of education. Only 5% of business schools globally have it (all in all, 816 schools in 53 countries).
According to Stephanie Bryant, AACSB vice president and chief accreditation officer, all schools with the accreditation have shown great results in all spheres: education, curriculum and research. It is actually not that easy for a school to gain AACSB accreditation: it requires a special plan of alignment and significant achievement in management and innovation. Accounting accreditation is not given unless a business school has already earned business accreditation.
