AACSB Accreditation
Nurture Competent Business Professionals
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB), a global organization of business colleges around the world, evaluates and accredits business education programs of higher education fulfilling international standards.
The AACSB accreditation is considered the most authoritative and representative international accreditation in the field of business administration. It is granted through the strict evaluation of 9 criteria, including Strategic Planning, Curriculum, and Faculty.
Less than 5% of universities in the world are AACSB accredited, which indicates that the business education program is internationally recognized and qualified.
In February 2014, the College of Business Administration (CBA) of Inha University officially acquired the first AACSB accreditation as the 13th among Korean universities as a result of the review of the Self Evaluation Report (SER) and Peer Review Team (PRT) visit.
All AACSB-accredited institutions must enter the Continuous Improvement Review (CIR) process every five years. After submission of the five-year CIR report and the PRT visit for the on-site review, the CBA of Inha University was successfully re-accredited by AACSB in January 2019 and February 2024, earning international recognition for the excellence of its business education programs.
