Want more reasons to recognize University of Texas Permian Basin’s quality education? UTPB’s College of Business has once again reaffirmed accreditation by AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
AACSB: WHY SHOULD IT MATTER TO YOU?
What does this accreditation mean? There’s plenty to acknowledge.
AACSB holds institutions to very high standards to ensure quality and continuous improvement of collegiate business education in areas of teaching, research, curriculum, and learner success.
They have been proven to provide the best in business education worldwide.
In addition, these business schools:
- Are recognized worldwide by top employers and other universities.
- Have employers that only hire their graduates.
- Have graduates that receive higher, more competitive salaries.
- Have students that are more international and are likely to earn higher levels of education.
- Have students with high-graduating GPAs.
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT UTPB’S BUSINESS ACCREDIDATION?
As facts show, less than 6 percent of business schools worldwide have obtained this AACSB accreditation. UTPB business programs are among these institutions.
When choosing a business school, students want a return on their educational investment. AACSB-accredited schools are considered the best in the world. These schools have better programs, better faculty, better students with higher overall GPAs, more international students, and provide high-quality education to their students.
The UTPB College of Business has earned AACSB Accreditation in several programs including: Management, Marketing, Accounting, Finance, and Energy Business. Additionally, UTPB has also recently received an AAPL (American Association of Professional Landmen) accreditation for its Energy Land Management program.
