Alcorn State University’s School of Business has met all standards for the reaffirmation of its business program through the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACSBP), according to its Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners.

 

“I applaud the School of Business for ensuring that our programs continue to provide quality teaching and academic rigor that this reaffirmation recognizes,” said Dr. Joyce Buckner-Brown, interim provost. “This is a testament to the caliber of our faculty and the relevant and challenging curricula delivery.”

 

The following business programs at Alcorn are accredited by ACSBP — Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Accounting, and Master of Business Administration.

 

“We have always strived to raise the standard for academic achievement and professional development,” said Dr. Antwon D. Woods, dean of the School of Business. “Passing the ACSBP accreditation review with no notes or conditions highlights our commitment to excellence and collaborative efforts of our executive advisory board, faculty, staff, and students to not only meet but exceed expectations.”

 

The organization bases its accreditation process on the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence. The ACBSP’s accreditation process focuses on three areas: teaching excellence, student learning outcomes, continuous improvement, and student-centered teaching and learning.

 

Established in 1988, ACBSP is a globally recognized business education accrediting body. It holds the distinction of being the first organization to offer accreditation to all levels of collegiate business educational degree programs, from associate to doctoral, setting the benchmark for excellence in business education.

 

The School of Business will be recognized at the 2024 ACBSP Conference, which will be held June 27-30 in Miami, Fla. It will be honored along with all other schools receiving initial or reaffirmation of accreditation during the 2023- 2024 membership year.
