DePaul University’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business has once again maintained its business and accounting accreditations by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), according to the school’s website.AACSB Accreditation is highest form of accreditation for a school’s business program. Less than five percent of the world’s business programs have been recognized with this level of accreditation.
According to Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International, “It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn and maintain AACSB Accreditation.”
He adds:
“Business schools must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but their deans, faculty, and professional staff must make a commitment to ongoing continuous improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to students.”
Along with it’s renewed AACSB accreditation, Eduniversal ranked Kellstadt sixth in the Excellent Business School category among U.S. institutions. Additionally, the Princeton Review named DePaul’s graduate entrepreneurship program among its “Top 25 Entrepreneurship Programs 2015.”
Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting. Today, there are 727 business schools in 48 countries and territories that maintain AACSB Accreditation.
