The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) provides internationally recognized, specialized accreditation for business schools at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral level. The AACSB Accreditation Standards challenge post-secondary educators to pursue excellence and continuous improvement throughout their business programs. AACSB Accreditation is known worldwide as the longest standing, most recognized form of specialized/professional accreditation an institution and its business programs can earn.  The Labovitz School of Business and Economics (LSBE) first received AACSB Accreditation in 2000. The endorsement is earned after rigorous peer review of the School’s performance in light of the standards established by AACSB and fulfillment of the School’s mission.
