Boise State’s College of Business & Economics is the only university in the Treasure Valley able to earn AACSB International accreditation. Boise State’s accreditation by AACSB, the premier accrediting agency, is your assurance of the highest academic standards.

Accreditation is a process of voluntary, non-governmental review of educational institutions and programs. Institutional accreditation reviews entire colleges and universities.  AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Business programs must satisfy a wide range of quality standards relating to curriculum, faculty resources and intellectual climate. Fewer than 15% of the world’s business schools have been able to achieve AACSB accreditation.

Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review. AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education.

AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:

• Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
• Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
• Provide high-caliber teaching of quality and current curricula.
• Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
• Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
