The Lubin School of Business at Pace University has successfully maintained its dual accreditation for both business and accounting by AACSB International.
Lubin”™s dual accreditation by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is an elite distinction shared by fewer than 2% of business schools in the world offering business degree programs.
“Pace University has a steadfast commitment to providing our students with the tools they”™ll need to succeed in their careers after graduation,” said Pace President Marvin Krislov.
Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees in business and accounting. It is the hallmark of excellence in business and accounting education. There are currently 882 business institutions in 57 countries and territories that have earned AACSB Accreditation. Similarly, 189 institutions hold a supplemental, specialized AACSB Accreditation for their accounting programs.
“Earning the distinction of dual AACSB accreditation reflects a business institution”™s commitment to the highest standards of excellence,” said Lawrence G. Singleton, dean of the Lubin School of Business.
Achieving accreditation is a multiyear process of rigorous internal review and peer review. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.
Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International, said ””¦ The Lubin School of Business”™ dedication to delivering high-quality business education will create the next generation of great leaders.”
Pace University has a rich history of excellence in business education and was founded as a school of accountancy in 1906. With a strong focus on experiential learning and one of the largest internship placement programs in the New York metropolitan area, Lubin”™s combined job placement rate is more than 93%. The accounting department successfully launched a new MS in accounting data analytics and technologies (MSADAT) program, which teaches students cutting-edge STEM skills while preparing them for CPA licensure examinations.
Pace is ranked the No.1 private, four-year college in the nation for upward economic mobility by Harvard University”™s Opportunity Insights, evidence of the transformative education the university provides.
Established in 1916, AACSB, with a presence in more than 100 countries, is the world”™s largest business education alliance, connecting educators, learners and business to create the next generation of great leaders.
