The university鈥檚 business programs have been reaccredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, also known as AACSB International, for an additional five years. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the world鈥檚 largest business education network and the longest-serving accrediting body for business schools with undergraduate, master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.

To achieve accreditation, each institution must undergo an improvement review process in addition to developing and implementing a plan that meets the AACSB accreditation standards.

鈥淎ACSB commends 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Mitchell College of Business for its exemplary work in maintaining the highest honor in business school accreditation,鈥� said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. 鈥淒uring this rigorous peer-review process, schools must demonstrate alignment with AACSB鈥檚 global accreditation standards, as well as how they encourage engagement, innovation and impact across the communities they serve.  Congratulations!鈥�
