Undergraduate Business school accreditation in the USA is overseen by four main accrediting agencies. These are the AACSB, ACBSP, EQUIS and IACBE. In this section you can read more about each of these accrediting bodies, as well as see a list of the business schools in the US they have accredited.
Accreditation is a process of voluntary review of educational institutions and programs, and accreditation of business programs is an important assurance that you are getting an independently-certified quality business education. The US Department of Education, the Council for Higher Education Association (CHEA) and the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors (ASPA) grant power to associations that oversee accreditation at the regional, institutional or program level.
Most accreditation organizations use the same standards and criteria to accredit each program type; however, accreditation is granted for specific periods of time that differ between individual schools and programs. The best way to determine a school's accreditation status is to visit the website of the accrediting organization. Most organizations keep current lists of schools granted accreditation by their agency.Why Accreditation?
The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies have no legal control over institutions or programs; they promote certain standards and approve or renew membership of institutions that apply and meet the accreditation standards or criteria.
