The School of Business recently received the accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for another five-year term. With this re-accreditation obtained from AACSB following the initial recognition in 2010, the School of Business is among 5% of the world’s business schools to receive such recognition.

 

AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education. The AACSB peer review team was impressed by the good work the School of Business has done to ensure the quality of its teaching and learning and to address students’ professional development needs. In addition, the team recognised the School’s commitment to applied and experiential learning, and its strong network with the business community. It affirmed that the focus on business education is well aligned with HKBU’s mission and values on whole person education. 

 

Professor Edward Snape, Dean of the School of Business, was delighted to receive re-accreditation from AACSB. He said: “The renewal of our accreditation status is an acknowledgement of our commitment to provide quality business education at a level that meets the best international standards. Looking forward, we will continue to develop our teaching, research and community service.”

 

Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest serving global accreditation body for business schools that offer degrees in business and accounting. Today, there are 755 business schools in 51 countries and territories that maintain AACSB accreditation.

 

AACSB requires member business schools to uphold its mission and core values to advance the interests of global management education, and to maintain high standards together with AACSB’s community of leading business schools. The re-accreditation process ensures that the schools engage in continuous quality improvement in management education through engagement, innovation and impact.
