AACSB Accredited

The MS MIS degree is accredited by the Northwest Accrediting Association and by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-International (AACSB-International). AACSB accreditation is achieved by only the most prestigious business schools in the country. The Huntsman School of Business underwent a rigourous application process to be admitted into this elite class of schools. You can view that current report for USU on the AACSB Report Page.

What is AACSB?

If your school has received the AACSB International certification, then you can be assured that you are part of one of the top 33% of the business schools in the United States. In order to be awarded this honor, USU met the most demanding criteria outlined which governed the regulations of a premium educational experience. Not only did USU have to prove that it has been an outstanding institution thus far, USU was required to have a defined vision of continued improvements outlined in its standards and mission statement.
 

Why is AACSB Accreditation Important?

Once students demonstrate that they are worthy of a first-class education, then they will have provided adequate evidence to the business world that they are ready for a reputable job. Each student in an accredited college now stands out as one who only settles for the highest standard. Students and their peers maintain this standard through a meticulous comprehensive review process along with evaluations of the curriculum. All the faculty are required to be highly qualified, and their material must be significant and demanding.
