AACSB Accreditation

The Bryan School is among the top 10% of business schools nationwide that have been recognized by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business for the achievement of high quality. Only 421 of the approximately 2,300 institutions of higher education in the U.S. have business programs that are internationally accredited by AACSB. Of these accredited business schools, the Bryan School is one of 165 that hold accreditation at the undergraduate and graduate levels in both business and accounting.

AACSB International is an independent, international association founded to assess, accredit, and promote the formal study of business. Accreditation is a process of voluntary, non-governmental review of educational institutions and programs. As a specialized agency AACSB International grants accreditation for undergraduate and graduate business administration and accounting programs.

AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review. AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education.

AACSB accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:

• Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission
• Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship
• Provide high-caliber teaching of quality and current curricula
• Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty
• Produce graduates who have achieved learning goals

The Bryan School of Business and Economics is proud to have achieved full accreditation at the graduate and undergraduate levels from AACSB International. Fewer than one-fourth of all business schools in the United States have achieved accreditation at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
