Achieving AACSB accreditation is a rigorous process. Each accreditation standard assesses a school's ability to perform in critical areas, 比如教学, 研究, 课程开发, 学生的学习. Generally, it takes a lot of work and time to meet all of the AACSB accreditation standards.

Here's a simplified version of how the process works:

• A school must have the ability to grant degrees in their country and have the appropriate local/regional institutional accreditation.
• AACSB begins by working with the school to develop a plan to meet the accreditation standards and its own strategic goals.
• Committees and mentors are assigned to help the school implement their accreditation and strategic plans.
• Once the mentors believe the school has met the standards, 评审小组, made up of highly experienced educators and business school administrators, will visit the school and make a recommendation for accreditation.
• The review team's recommendation is given to an accreditation committee and the AACSB board of directors for final approval.
• Many times, a school will have to return to the mentors and committees for further development.
• 最后, if all parties believe the school has satisfied the standards, it is granted with AACSB accreditation for its business programs. (所有人.)
• The business school must then be reviewed every five years to ensure it continues to meet the standards.

教育 is one of the most important investments you will ever make. It has the potential to change your career dramatically. Your degree really could be the tool to help with your career change, or it could be the factor that pushes you above another candidate for that sought-after promotion.

From the beginning of the recruitment process, your education is likely to be a key factor. Many employers will look at where you obtained your degree from and, if it is not from what they consider is a reputable school, your resume will be put at the bottom of the pile–a harsh, but unfortunately common practice in the workplace.

出于这个原因, a degree from a school that does not meet rigorous quality standards is not a good investment, as it is unlikely to be much help in advancing your career–and once you make that choice, you may not have the chance to start over again and obtain your degree from a higher-quality school.
