AACSB International (AACSB) announced today that 60 institutions have extended their business accreditation and 8 have extended their accounting accreditation.

AACSB now has 1,037 accredited institutions in over 65 countries and territories and 195 institutions with AACSB accreditation for accounting programs. Achieving this milestone ensures greater access to high-quality business education for learners around the world and businesses seeking top talent. 

“AACSB congratulates each institution on achieving AACSB accreditation,” said Stephanie Bryant, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Accreditation Officer at AACSB. “The commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of each school’s dedication—not only to its students, alumni network, and greater business community—but to society as a whole.”

Achieving AACSB accreditation is a mission-driven, rigorous process that includes an in-depth assessment of internal activities, mentorship with an AACSB advisor, and a peer-reviewed evaluation focused on continuous improvement. During this multiyear path, schools focus on developing and implementing a plan to achieve their mission and align with AACSB’s accreditation standards. These principles-based standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation, research, and teaching and learning.
