Fayetteville State University announced earlier this week that the Broadwell College of Business and Economics has received its renewed accreditation from Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The AACSB is a prestigious organization and the world’s largest business education alliance with a presence in over 100 countries and territories.
The accreditation is not easy to come by; less than one-third of Fewer than one-third of U.S. business schools and only five percent of international business schools have earned accreditation from AACSB, Fayetteville State University said in a press release.
According to a statement issued by the AACSB, the process of receiving accreditation comes from a “process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an AACSB-assigned mentor, and peer-reviewed evaluation.” The process takes years as schools work toward aligning with the high standards of AACSB.
“We are extremely proud of the exceptional programs, faculty and students in FSU’s Broadwell College of Business and Economics,” said Monica T. Leach, Ed.D., provost and senior vice chancellor for academic affairs. “The hard work of Dean [Ulysses] Taylor and his staff continues to guide the school to even greater accomplishments and prepare future business leaders to take their place in a global society.”
The Broadwell College has 1,700 FSU students enrolled with business administration as their top-ranked major.
“The rigorous accreditation process enables the school to assess its programs and curricula for continued excellence as well as benchmark against its peers for the benefit of students and the University as a whole,” said BCBE Dean Ulysses
Taylor, MBA, J.D.
“We are pleased to offer award-winning programs that provide students and community members with the practical tools and analytical frameworks needed for
successful careers as business professionals and entrepreneurs,” Taylor said. “Our mission is to ensure we provide the highest quality business education possible and sustain the high academic standards of our university.”
“Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development, and student learning,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB. “The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.”
