AACSB Accreditation Not all accreditations are equal Before choosing a business school, it is important to understand the difference between regional and professional accreditation.
Regional Accreditation Entire colleges and universities may hold accreditation by a regional accrediting body. Regional accreditations are based on basic features of the entire university, such as facilities, services.
Professional Accreditations Professional accreditations are awarded by specialized accrediting bodies defined by the specific discipline. In the case of business schools, the premier professional accrediting agency worldwide is the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). AACSB International grants accreditation for undergraduate and graduate business administration and accounting programs.
AACSB Accreditations Less than 5% of the world’s business schools have earned accreditation by AACSB International—the hallmark of excellence in management education. The schools hold accreditation from AACSB International in both business and accounting, placing it among a very select group of business schools in the U.S.
