Perdue School Earns AACSB Re-Accreditation

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business has maintained its business accreditation by AACSB International — The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

“We are pleased to have earned this continued distinguished recognition. It affirms the quality of our programs, faculty, staff and students and recognizes our commitment to delivering a high-quality business education,” said Dr. Christy Weer, interim dean of the Perdue School. “This accreditation places the Perdue School among a small elite group of business schools worldwide.”

Only 711 schools of business — fewer than 5 percent internationally — have earned this hallmark of excellence in management education. To maintain accreditation a business program must undergo a rigorous internal review every five years, during which the program must demonstrate its continued commitment to quality standards relating to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources, and interactions of faculty and students.

Schools must also demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.

Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
