To achieve accreditation, business programs must satisfy the expectations of a wide range of quality standards relating to strategic management of resources, the interaction of faculty and students in the educational process, and the achievement of learning goals in degree programs. These standards are linked to the mission of the institution.
“We are delighted AACSB International has recognized that the educational experience being delivered by our faculty is of such high quality,” said Marty Wyngaarden Krauss, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Brandeis.
During the accreditation process, Brandeis International Business School was visited and evaluated by a team of highly respected business school deans with detailed knowledge of management education, who assessed its performance against accreditation standards widely accepted in the educational community.
