The AACSB Self Study Process

This case study revolves around a business college interested in seeking AACSB accreditation in the future. The Dean of the college invites an accreditation specialist for a period of 45 days. The accreditation specialist initiates an internal self-study process. The self-study process generates data pertaining to mission and strategic plan of the college, qualifications of faculty and staff, tenure and promotion policies, teaching loads and pedagogies used by the faculty, advisement policies and other additional information. The accreditation specialist now needs to determine where the college stands on the fifteen standards of AACSB.
