Korea University Business School Maintains Prestigious AACSB Business Accreditation
(Seoul/Korea) (2014.12.23)—The Korea University Business School (KUBS) has maintained its business accreditation by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
AACSB Accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than five percent of the world's business programs. Today, there are 716 business schools in 48 countries and territories that maintain AACSB Accreditation. Similarly, 181 institutions maintain an additional specialized AACSB Accreditation for their accounting programs.
“It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn and maintain AACSB Accreditation,” said Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. “Business schools must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but their deans, faculty, and professional staff must make a commitment to ongoing continuous improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to students.”
KUBS is gradually rising as an international business school with accomplishments such as ranking no. 89 on the UTD 2014 Worldwide Business School Research Rankings and no. 1 in Korea, no. 12 in the 2012 FT Worldwide Executive MBA Rankings and no. 1 in Korea, no. 1 in the Domestic MBA Assessment by HR Managers (Hankyung Business), and no. 1 Producer of CEOs from the Top 500 Domestic Companies. In addition, KUBS is the first university in Korea to have been accredited by the two most prestigious international business school accreditation organizations, AACSB and EQUIS, and re-accredited for an additional 5 years for both.
