The Lubar College of Business has maintained its dual global accreditation in business and accounting for another five years with AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
“We’re honored that AACSB has again recognized the Lubar College of Business among the elite group of accredited business schools for both our business and accounting programs,” says Dean Kaushal Chari. “This is a testament to our shared commitment to providing the highest quality education and scholarship that benefits our students, business partners, and the community.”
AACSB accreditation is considered the “gold standard” for business schools and their accounting programs. Fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide meet the organization’s rigorous standards for strategic management and innovation, faculty research productivity, learning and teaching, and academic and professional engagement. Accounting accreditation involves additional standards related to the profession and is held by less than one-fifth of AACSB’s business-accredited schools.
“AACSB congratulates each institution on their achievement,” says Stephanie M. Bryant, global executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB. “Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development and student learning. The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.”
The Lubar College of Business has been continuously accredited by AACSB International since 1970.
