I thought all accreditations were similar. What is special about AACSB International accreditation?
While most institutions of higher learning are accredited by a national or governmental degree-granting authority or agency, not all business schools have earned accreditation from AACSB International. In the field of business, AACSB is the largest and the longest standing specialized accrediting agency for business and accounting programs in the world. Earning AACSB accreditation is a voluntary process requiring significant commitment, self assessment, peer review and dedication from a schools administration and, it doesnt end there. Every five years, schools must pass a rigorous peer review in order to maintain their accreditation.
