AACSB Accreditation

Central Michigan University's School of Accounting is AACSB Accredited, one of only approximately 180 schools of accounting in the world to achieve this accreditation.  AACSB Accreditation Standards are used as the basis to evaluate a business school's mission, operations, faculty qualifications and contributions, programs, and other critical areas. 

The accreditation ensures students and parents that we are providing a top-quality education. It also ensures employers that our graduates are ready to perform on day one. Additionally, the accreditation provides many benefits to the School of Accounting as it attracts higher-quality students, provides greater research opportunities, and allows for global recognition.

Potential students and parents should be assured by our accreditation that we have the highest quality faculty, relevant and challenging curriculum, and provide educational and career opportunities that are not found at other business schools. One might say selecting a business school is similar to purchasing a home. Since it is such a large investment, you wouldn't purchase a home unless it had been inspected. AACSB Accreditation is a lot like a home inspection, but for business schools. It helps to ensure that a business school has qualified faculty, a rigorous curriculum that will teach skills that employers require, and a proper assessment of learning processes in place.
