The Department of Accounting is Accredited by AACSB

To achieve AACSB Accounting Accreditation, a school must first—or concurrently—obtain AACSB Business Accreditation. AACSB developed six standards, approved in April 2018, focused on strategic management, accounting education and professional engagement. These standards, built on the themes of engagement, innovation and impact, aim for continuous quality improvement and align closely with AACSB business standards.
