IUP has earned another accreditation, this time for its Department of Accounting and Information Systems in the Eberly College of Business.
The accreditation comes from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, or AACSB, which is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools and the largest business education network. IUP’s Eberly College of Business has held accreditation from the AACSB since 2001. Less than six percent of colleges and universities around the world receive this accreditation, and IUP is the only public university in Pennsylvania and one of five colleges in Pennsylvania to receive the recognition.
To achieve the accreditation, the university had to submit extensive documentation of the program’s commitment to excellence, including faculty expertise, academic rigor, learning assessment, and outstanding success of its graduates.
