The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) announced last week that A&M-Central Texas has earned international accreditation for its College of Business Accreditation. Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and the largest business education network connecting learners, educators, and businesses worldwide. Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB, said that AACSB accreditation recognizes institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning. “We congratulate A&M-Central Texas and Dean Faiza Khoja on earning accreditation and applaud the entire College of Business Administration (COBA) team—including the administration, faculty, staff, and students—for their roles in earning this respected honor,” she concluded. University Provost, Peg Gray-Vickrey, Ph.D., also added her congratulations, applauding the faculty that has built incredibly strong business programs and dedicated themselves to their students, the community, and the region. "A&M-Central Texas is delighted that our College of Business Administration has earned accreditation from AACSB based on our ability to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to teaching excellence, scholarship, curriculum development, and student success," she said. "We are especially proud to achieve this milestone as a new university in our 11th year. This is a testament to the outstanding faculty in our College of Business Administration under the leadership of Dean Faiza Khoja. With this accreditation, our students can be assured of the highest quality educational experience."
