Association to Advance Collegiate Schools Accounting

The School of Accounting holds an additional accreditation from Association to Advance Collegiate Schools (AACSB) separate from the college itself, as it is accredited through a parallel process with a higher standard for dually-accredited accounting programs. The School of Accounting was among the very first accounting schools to receive separate accreditation from AACSB.
