Business Accreditation
ÓÅÃÛ´«Ã½â€™s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and MBA programs were accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) in 2017. ÌýÌýis a specialized global business accreditation body following the Baldrige model focused on teaching excellence and continuous improvement.Ìý ACBSP evaluates business programs in areas of leadership, strategic planning, stakeholder relationships, quality of academic programs, faculty creditials, and quality improvement.
In conjunction with ACBSP, the College of Busienss at ÓÅÃÛ´«Ã½ is continually looking to improve. Each year we test our seniors in all areas of business and compare our results against other ACBSP accredited schools. Our goal is to consistently perform at or above the 65th percentile in all subject areas.Ìý Below are our results for the past four academic years:

While test scores and grades are important, Ìýwe believe that one of the best assessments to measure how we are doing is to ask employers and site supervisors of our internship programs how our students and graduates are performing. ÌýWe regularly ask these stakeholders to rate our students and graduates on a scale of 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). ÌýOur goal is to have all 4s (satisfied) and 5s (very satisfied). ÌýWe report on these statistics every other year, so our next update will be in the spring of 2026. ÌýBelow are a few of our matrecies:Ìý
In addition, the Department of Business & Economics tracks our retention and graduation rates. ÌýBelow are the Business Department’s retention rates as well as our 4 and 6 year graduation rates for students starting in 2009 through 2016 (note: the 2016 entering class would normally graduate in 2020).
