Partner Agreements and Impact on Accreditation

FAQ- “How should my school report on our partner programs?”  

Answer- The AACSB Standards for Business Accreditation include multiple references to joint and dual degree programs as well as guidance for the treatment of such programs within the context of accreditation.  However, there are a multitude of other partner agreements not mentioned in the standards.  In the below chart, we have identified and defined various partner agreements of which we are aware.  We have also highlighted some key considerations and potential impact on accreditation that each type of partner agreement may have.  Ultimately, schools are responsible for aligning with all of the standards and are expected to demonstrate that degree programs are structured and designed to support content coverage, rigor, interactions, and engagement that are normally expected at the particular level of study.  In addition, the faculty complement should be sufficient to ensure achievement of all mission activities.  The below table should be used as a helpful tool, and if you have any questions, please contact your school’s AACSB accreditation staff liaison.  Staff liaison contact information can be found here https://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/contact
