AACSB accreditation assures quality, promoting excellence and continuous improvement in undergraduate and graduate education for business administration and accounting. Its accreditation is a process of voluntary, non-governmental review of educational institutions and programs, with demanding standards that challenge schools to pursue continuous improvement.

The AACSB accreditation process focuses on the quality of educational activities through self-evaluation and peer review. In the self-evaluation process, a school assesses its accomplishments in relation to its mission and objectives, as well as on the criteria in the accreditation standards.

The peer review is an external analysis of a school's processes for achieving its mission, assessing educational outcomes and planning for continuous improvement.

The AACSB accreditation process benefits students in a wide variety of ways:

• The school/program has an appropriate mission achieved through relevant curricula, qualified faculty, and effective policies and practices.
• The degree program offered has completed a rigorous self-evaluation and peer review.
• The degree program offered satisfied criteria established and accepted by the management education community.

Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review. AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education.
