Since 1954, the College's excellence in programs, faculty, staff, and students has earned accreditation by the nation's most prestigious organization, AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

AACSB Accreditation Important to the Business World

The world's largest semiconductor company is making it clear that accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) is an important and necessary measure of educational quality. Intel Corporation recently decided to only provide tuition reimbursement for employees who take classes from AACSB-accredited schools.  According to a story in the Arizona Republic, Intel will exclude schools like the University of Phoenix, the nation’s largest private university.

High standards of achievement are set for business schools that become accredited by the AACSB. By receiving accreditation, institutions must demonstrate a commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.

BGSU’s College of Business Administration has been accredited by the AACSB for the past 50 years and is only one of 171 colleges and schools worldwide to have earned this accreditation in both business and accounting.
