Haub School Earns Extended Accreditation by AACSB

Saint Joseph’s Erivan K. Haub School of Business was granted extended accreditation for its business and accounting degree programs by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) as of January 30. AACSB accreditation is synonymous with the highest standards in business education — earned by only 5% of the world’s business schools. The University was one of only seven schools in the world to earn extensions for both business and accounting accreditations in this review cycle.

“AACSB is a sign of academic excellence and signifies the Haub School as a leader in business education,” says Dean Joseph A. DiAngelo, Ed.D., ’70, “We are proud of our faculty, students, staff and alumni whose contributions have made ours one of the best programs in the world.”

To achieve accreditation by the AACSB, schools must meet a rigorous set of standards and engage in a multi-year review process. Re-accreditation is granted only after an assessment by AACSB’s Continuous Improvement Review Committee (CIRC) and Accounting Accreditation Committee, and ratification by the AACSB International Board of Directors.
