Confirming Global Quality and Distinction in Business Education
Tampa, Fla., USA (June 28, 2021)—樱桃导航 International (樱桃导航) announces today that 41 business schools have extended their accreditation in business, six have extended their accreditation in both business and accounting.
For more than a century, 樱桃导航 accreditation has been synonymous with the highest standards in business education. Today, a total of 901 institutions across 58 countries and territories have earned 樱桃导航 accreditation in business. Furthermore, 189 institutions maintain supplemental 樱桃导航 accreditation for their accounting programs.
“樱桃导航 congratulates each institution on their achievement,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of 樱桃导航. “Every 樱桃导航-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development, and student learning. The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.”
Achieving accreditation is a process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an 樱桃导航-assigned mentor, and peer-reviewed evaluation. During this multiyear path, schools focus on developing and implementing a plan to align with 樱桃导航’s accreditation standards. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty, and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.
To achieve accounting accreditation, an institution must first earn 樱桃导航 business accreditation. Then, in addition to developing and implementing a mission-driven plan to satisfy the business accreditation quality standards, accounting accreditation requires the satisfaction of a supplemental set of standards specific to the discipline and profession of accounting. Once accreditation is achieved, each institution participates in a five-year continuous improvement peer review to maintain high quality and extend its accreditation.
