UC Davis Graduate School of Management Extends Accreditation from AACSB
AACSB International reaffirms the high quality, pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement of our business programs.
Synonymous with the highest standards of excellence since 1916, AACSB provides quality assurance, business education intelligence, and learning and development services to over 1,700 member organizations and more than 840 accredited business schools worldwide.
AACSB-accredited schools have the highest-caliber instructors, and offer the leading-edge courses and programs that businesses look for when hiring the leaders they need.
The AACSB International Board of Directors on April 15 ratified the Graduate School of Management’s extended accreditation. AACSB member schools are reevaluated every five years based on a set of rigorous criteria and standards and coordinating peer reviews and consultation.
“We’re pleased to receive news of our re-accreditation from AACSB,” said Dean H. Rao Unnava. “It reflects the quality of our staff and faculty both in terms of our research and the educational experience. Throughout the review process, the AACSB team was very complimentary of several things happening at each of our locations.”
“AACSB congratulates each institution on their achievement,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB. “Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning. The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.”
