School of Business Administration scheduled for on-site visit by IACBE

Evaluators representing the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) will be on campus Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29 for an on-site accreditation visit. The Andrews University School of Business Administration at Andrews University was accepted into membership of IACBE in November 2007, and attained candidature status in October the following year. The School’s self-study was completed in early January, 2009.

IACBE follows a mission-driven, outcomes-oriented approach to accreditation, and as such is regarded as the premier professional accreditor for business programs in student-centered colleges and universities throughout the world. Its philosophy of accreditation centers on student learning and operational outcomes. IACBE bases its accrediting process on principles rather than prescriptive input standards. This approach to business accreditation differentiates IACBE from other business accrediting bodies, and has led IACBE to continue to pursue recognition through the Council of Higher Education Accreditation. More than 200 business schools, offering a minimum of four-year undergraduate business degrees, are accredited through IACBE.

The School of Business Administration is thus in the final stages of having all its BBA degree programs and the MBA program accredited through IACBE.
