IACBE stands for the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education. IACBE was founded in 1997, and it differs from other accrediting bodies in that it grants accreditation based on an assessment of educational outcomes.
Accreditation in the US takes place at different levels. The US Department of Education, the Council for Higher Education Association (CHEA) and the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors (ASPA) approve and grant power to associations that oversee accreditation at the regional, institutional or specialized program level. Institutional accreditation reviews entire colleges and universities, while specialized agencies award accreditation for professional programs and academic units in particular fields of study.
As a specialized agency, the IACBE exists to encourage, develop, and recognize excellence in business education, and accredits business and business-related degree programs in colleges and universities that offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. IACBE currently has over 200 members in the US and around the world.
