On November 11 and 12, a research team from The Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business (AACSB) visited KUBS; Dr. John Kraft (Dean, University of Florida), Dr. Antonio Travaglione (Dean, University of Newcastle) and Dr. Greg Whittraded (Former Dean, The University of Auckland) visited KUBS. From KUBS, Professor Jae Wook Kim (Dean), Joong Hyuk Kim (Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs), Weon Sang Yoo (Associate Dean for MBA Programs), Chang-Wha Chung (Associate Dean for Planning and Budget) and Baeho Kim (Associate Dean for Research) were present for the event.

KUBS, which was certified by the AACSB in 2005 for the first time in Korea for all programs including both undergraduate and graduate-level education, has since obtained accreditation for three times in a row in 2010 and 2015. The research team has evaluated various areas of KUBS, including faculty, curriculum, research and student support. It also conducted interviews with the President of Korea University, teachers, employees and students. The result of the accreditation will be announced early next year.

AACSB is a non-profit organization founded in 1916 by the presidents of major US universities. It establishes the standards that many business schools should follow, and gives an international accreditation after a rigorous screening. As of 2019, 856 business schools in 56 countries have AACSB accreditations, including Harvard, Stanford and Columbia.
 
The due diligence for another international accreditation held by KUBS – EQUIS (EFMD Quality Implementation System) accreditation – will be carried out next year.
