AACSB ACCREDITATION
AACSB International does not rank or endorse any individual schools, but is focused on advancing
quality business education worldwide.
Todays business landscape is more global, dynamic, and unpredictable than ever before. Fluctuating
markets, changes in policies and governments, mobile and online operating environments and
growing worldwide competiveness are among the opportunities and challenges facing businesses
around the world. To truly succeed, leaders at every level must be trained and equipped to question
old assumptions, rethink existing systems, and foster lasting progress.
Attending business school is one of the best ways to obtain the insight, expertise, and knowhow
needed to make a difference in business, no matter the industry or job description. Just as the face of
business has changed, so too has the instruction in the classroom. Business school educators arent
just
lecturers anymore. Now, youll nd working business practitioners sharing rst-hand knowledge
and experiences blended with the academic rigor of the curriculum. These contributions from real
world practitioners are essential after all, how effective is a business education really going to be,

without the actual in uence of business?

Not all institutions approach education the same way, making the decision to choose the right
business school rather dif cult. How will you know that the education being promised will prepare
you to succeed? Will the professors and educators encourage you to innovate and think differently, so
you can have a positive impact on society? How do you know if the time, money, and personal
investment you make to earn a business degree will prepare you for the next stage of your career? If
you are looking for the best, a good place to start is with an accredited school. But not all accrediting
bodies are the same. Understanding the difference can have a signi cant impact on your overall
educational experience.
For more than 100 years, AACSB International (http://www.aacsb.edu) has been the top accrediting
organization in the world, known as the gold standard of business school quality assurance with
internationally recognized thresholds for performance, quality, rigor, and continuous improvement.
AACSB-accredited schools are considered to be the best business schools in the world, all with a
shared vision and commitment to innovate, engage with the markets they serve, and have a global
impact for good. Earning AACSB Accreditation requires a total, institution-wide commitment to
continuous improvement, and not every school can earn this prestigious distinction. In fact, less than
5% of schools offering business degrees worldwide have earned AACSB Accreditation. As of May 2016,
AACSB has granted business accreditation to 762 schools across 52 countries, each offering unique
and diverse approaches to business education.
No matter what type of student you are (undergraduate, graduate, or PhD), be sure that the schools
you are considering have demonstrated a commitment to quality and innovation by earning AACSB
Accreditation. Look closely at the courses, experiential learning opportunities, and potential for
interactionwith faculty, other students, and the business communityto identify the speci c
program that aligns with your aspirations.
Global employers want quality business graduates from quality business schoolsgraduates they
know will perform, beginning on day one. This is why it is so important to choose an AACSBaccredited business degree program that will teach you the knowledge and skills employers require.
There are over 760 AACSB-accredited schools around the world, each with its own unique attributes
and bene ts. Choosing a business school is a big decision, so take the time to research and explore all
the options available and consider how each will guide you towards achieving your personal and
professional goals.
