with very high standards.

The accreditation is the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business

and is the top five percent of business schools worldwide.

We had to me twenty standards

in order to qualify for AACSB.

These standards are really marks of quality schools.

If you look at any of the top schools -

Harvard, Columbia, Yale -

all those business schools have the exact same accreditation

that we now have with AACSB.

We've had faculty members routinely publishing

at the twenty percentile where the acceptance rate

is only 20 percent only ten percent of the top journals in the nation.

And that's unusual - you don't see schools typically our size

being able to publish in these journals.

We're scoring in the eighty-fifth percentile or higher

so our students are competitive with any students across the nation.

We will be having visiting teams come every five years

to re-evaluate our program and

see if we are still meeting the standards.

And it's a continuous improvement program also.

So we gather data, we make corrections

and then we check to see that we're improving.
