What is AACSB, and Why Does it Matter?
As you finalize your decision about where you’ll study business in college, one of the most important things to consider is the business school’s accreditation. Accreditation is a quality award given by an independent review organization that schools must earn to prove they are the best in education.
For business schools, there is one accreditation that stands above all the rest, and that is accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB).
The Greehey School of Business at St. Mary’s University is proud to be accredited by the AACSB, the world’s premier accrediting body for business schools. Only the world’s finest business schools are accredited by the AACSB.
In fact, only 7% of all business schools worldwide have achieved this prestigious mark of quality.
What This Means For You as a Greehey School of Business Student
This accreditation means that your professors are experts in their fields and bring that knowledge into the classroom.
Employers will recognize the quality of the degree you complete at St. Mary’s, and you will gain the opportunity to receive better internships and job offers. Top graduate schools are more likely to accept you into their MBA and other advanced degree programs.
The difference between an AACSB accredited business school and all the others is clear. Settle for nothing less than AACSB accreditation in the business school you choose. Your college degree is a major investment; you deserve a degree that the world recognizes as excellent.
