Haub Maintains AACBS Accreditation
The Association to Advance Collegiate Business Schools has once again accredited the Erivan K. Haub School of Business at Saint Joseph’s University. This is the third time that the school has received this accreditation. Less than five percent of the world’s business schools and programs have received the accreditation from AACBS.
In order to maintain AACBS accreditation, programs must undergo an internal review every five years. During the review, the program must show its commitment to a certain level of standards. These standards apply to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students and commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
