AACSB Accreditation

University of Detroit Mercy's College of Business Administration is accredited by AACSB International - the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.  AACSB is a not-for-profit corporation of educational institutions, corporations and other organizations devoted to the promotion and improvement of higher education in business administration and management.

Organized in 1916, AACSB International is the premier accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting. Its founding members include Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, New York University, Northwestern University, The Ohio State University, Tulane University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Nebraska, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh, The University of Texas, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Yale University.

The Association's growing membership outside the U.S. provides new opportunities and challenges for AACSB International as it expands its role as a source of information, training and networking for management educators.  In addition to its accreditation function, AACSB International conducts an extensive array of development programs for faculty and administrators; engages in research and survey projects on topics specific to the field of management education; maintains relationships with disciplinary associations and other groups; interacts with the corporate community on a variety of projects and initiatives; and produces a wide variety of publications and special reports on trends and issues within management education. AACSB International also maintains close relationships with its counterpart associations worldwide.
