Business Accreditation Statistical Reports 
This report provides comprehensive information on a group of schools selected by you (minimum of three schools).  The report includes each school's basic characteristics; a comparative analysis (financial, admissions, employment, faculty qualifications, and key ratios); and detailed information about degree programs.  Additional detail about the report can be found below. During a school's accreditation review year, this report, titled "Business Accreditation Statistical Report" is prepared by Knowledge Services based upon comparable and aspirant schools identified by the host school and provided to AACSB Accreditation.  AACSB Accreditation staff officially distributes the reports to the host school and peer review teams.  In between accreditation review years, this same report is titled "Non-Review Year Business Accreditation Statistical Report."  Non-accredited members, including those in candidacy, are eligible to receive these reports if they complete the Business School Questionnaire (Parts A-K).
