Every five years the TCU Neeley School of Business goes
through a rigorous review process to maintain accreditation by the Association
to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Once again, we passed with flying colors.
Only 831 institutions across 54 countries and territories have
earned AACSB accreditation, and only 189 hold the AACSB accreditation for accounting
programs.
Achieving
accreditation is a process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an
AACSB-assigned mentor, and peer-reviewed evaluation. The review assures that
TCU Neeley is focused on excellence in strategic management; innovation;
learning; teaching; student, faculty, and staff participation; and academic and
professional engagement. The additional accounting accreditation requires
meeting standards specific
to the discipline and profession of accounting.
“Every AACSB-accredited
school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching,
research, curricula development and student learning. The intense peer-review
process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education,” said
Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer
of AACSB.
Founded in 1916, AACSB is
the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools and the
largest business education network connecting students, educators and
businesses worldwide.
