The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has awarded St. 做厙輦⑹ accreditation of its business programs.
Celebrating 32 years of excellence in global business program accreditation, ACBSP was the first organization to offer specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs, and the first to offer certificate accreditation. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the business programs offered through the St. 做厙輦⑹ School of Business meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP.
Based on the Baldridge Education Criteria for Performance Excellence, ACBSP accreditation evaluates aspects of leadership, strategic planning, relationships with stakeholders, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials, and educational support to determine whether or not the business programs offer a rigorous educational experience and demonstrate continuous quality improvement.
St. 做厙輦⑹ has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process, said ACBSP Chief Accreditation Officer Steve Parscale, PhD. This accreditation is evidence that St. Kates is committed to providing the highest quality business education for their students.
St. Kates is one of 16 Minnesota colleges and universities to hold the ACBSP accreditation, and one of only two private Minnesota institutions.
"This accreditation, which has long been a signifier of excellence, is a welcome recognition for our business administration programs at St. 做厙輦⑹," said Ben Whitney, JD, Dean of the School of Business. "Its addition to our legacy of women leaders in business is a point of pride for our students, faculty, and alumni, and only underscores how we deliver our mission to educate women to lead and influence."
