With fewer than 6% of business schools accredited worldwide, UCA’s College of Business received accreditation in 1984 and remains accredited at the undergraduate and MBA levels. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Institutions with this accreditation are committed to quality and continuous improvement through a comprehensive peer review.
AACSB announced in July 2026 that the UCA College of Business has earned extended accreditation for another six years.
The AACSB accreditation assures stakeholders and students that business schools will:
- Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
- Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
- Provide high-caliber teaching, quality, and current curricula.
- Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
- Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
