Accreditation and Assurance of Learning

AACSB logoThe University of Dayton School of Business Administration is accredited by AACSB International — the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business — with additional specialized accreditation for our accounting program. Fewer than 2% of business schools worldwide hold this prestigious dual-accreditation of accounting and business.

Meeting AACSB standards represents the highest level of excellence in curriculum, faculty, staff, facilities, and student achievement. To earn accreditation, business and accounting programs must meet rigorous standards related to strategic management of resources, effective faculty-student engagement, and achievement of program competencies.

As part of this accreditation, we uphold a robust assurance of learning program. This systematic process ensures our degree programs develop the intellectual and behavioral competencies expected of our graduates.
