On Feb. 6, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) renewed the accreditation of the Odette School of Business, recognizing its continued excellence in business education.

This international accreditation verifies that business schools meet the highest standards of excellence in teaching, research, and more. Achieving AACSB accreditation is a mission-driven, rigorous process that includes an in-depth assessment of internal activities, mentorship with an AACSB advisor, and a peer-reviewed evaluation focused on continuous improvement.

“Maintaining AACSB accreditation reaffirms our commitment to delivering high-quality business education and continuously improving our programs,” says Ashish Mahajan, interim dean of the Odette School of Business.

AACSB now has 1,037 accredited institutions in more than 65 countries and territories, representing just 6 per cent of business schools globally.

Stephanie Bryant, the association’s executive vice-president and global chief accreditation officer, says, “The commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of each school’s dedication — not only to its students, alumni network, and greater business community — but to society as a whole.”
