AACSB International is a globally recognized accrediting agency for business schools offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in business management. Fewer than 10 percent of business schools worldwide carry the prestigious AACSB international accreditation. "This certification is important because it verifies that SFU Business has the resources, processes and policies in place to deliver the highest possible standard of business education," says Ernie Love, dean of SFU Business. He notes that AACSB accredited business programs must satisfy the expectations of 21 quality standards relating to curriculum, strategic management of resources, and faculty and student interaction. In addition to SFU Business' undergraduate business administration programs offered at SFU Burnaby and SFU Surrey, the new Segal Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver offers a number of MBA programs and a new PhD in business administration. -30-
