Drucker Maintains AACSB Accreditation
The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University has maintained its business accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
All accredited institutions must enter the Continuous Improvement Review process every five years. Accreditation has been earned by less than 5 percent of the world’s business programs.
“It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn and maintain AACSB accreditation,” said Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. “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.”
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business was founded in 1916. It is an association of more than 694 educational institutions, businesses, and other organizations in 45 countries and territories. Its mission is to advance management education worldwide through accreditation, thought leadership, and value-added services.
“The AACSB’s recertification of our accreditation is a testament to the Drucker School’s continued commitment to academic excellence. Recognition from the world’s leading management education authority is an honor, one that is shared by the president, provost, faculty, students, and staff alike,” said Lawrence A. Crosby, dean of the Drucker School of Management.
“The school’s dedication to maintaining quality of instruction and an exceptional learning environment has its roots in Peter Drucker’s philosophy. It guides our teaching, research focus and internal operations to enrich the professional lives of our students by enhancing their ability to think rigorously and ethically about complex issues,” said Crosby.
