Accreditation

 AACSB Accreditation

The Herberger Business School is accredited by AACSB International at both the bachelor and master's degree levels. AACSB accreditation establishes standards for collegiate schools of business to promote high levels of educational quality.

• Second school in Minnesota to achieve AACSB accreditation
• 1 of 2 accredited real estate programs in Minnesota

To achieve accreditation, a business school must  meet a wide range of quality standards relating to curriculum, faculty resources, admissions, degree requirements, library and computer facilities, financial resources, and intellectual climate.

Why AACSB International Accreditation?

AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide. Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review. AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education.

AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:

• Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
• Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
• Provide high-caliber teaching of quality and current curricula.
• Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
• Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.

ABET Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Information Systems is also accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET. ABET accreditation assures confidence that a collegiate program has met standards essential to prepare graduates to enter critical STEM fields in the global workforce. Graduates from an ABET-accredited program have a solid educational foundation and are capable of leading the way in innovation, emerging technologies, and in anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.

Why ABET Accreditation?

• Verifies that your educational experience meets the global standard for technical education in your profession.
• Enhances your employment opportunities—multinational corporations require graduation from an accredited program.
• Supports your entry to a technical profession through licensure, registration and certification—all of which often require graduation from an ABET-accredited program as a minimum qualification.
• Establishes your eligibility for many federal student loans, grants, and/or scholarships.
• Paves the way for you to work globally, because ABET accreditation is recognized worldwide through international agreements, and many other countries’ national accrediting systems are based on the ABET model.
