Why does the "official" website have a .org domain name and not .edu? Psnae 05:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just because a website has a .edu website does not mean it's "official." Plenty of diploma mills utilize .edu domains, you could always e-mail ACBSP and ask them.

There was a long discussion on this topic a while ago; I'm not sure where all that information went. Here's the official policy from Educause, the organization that controls the .EDU domain:

"Eligibility for a .edu domain name is limited to postsecondary institutions that are institutionally accredited, i.e., the entire institution and not just particular programs, by agencies on the U.S. Department of Education’s list of Nationally Recognized Accrediting Agencies. These include both "Regional Institutional Accrediting Agencies" and "National Institutional and Specialized Accrediting Bodies" recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Note that institutional accreditation is required for .edu eligibility; program accreditation is not sufficient. Not all agencies accredit institutions. Some accredit only institutions, some accredit only programs, and others accredit both institutions and programs.

It is also important to note that, while every effort is made to keep the EDUCAUSE list up-to-date, the U.S. Department of Education's list of Nationally Recognized Accrediting Agencies and State Agencies are the only official comprehensive lists of agencies."

Criticisms

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have added a criticisms section because it seemed dishonest to rely on the founding mission in the 80s (to advance teaching v. big-name research institutions with AACSB accreditation) as though that's how AACSB and ACBSP work today. Further, there is a great deal of evidence that going to a ACBSP school for business education will be looked down upon by employers, relative to AACSB accreditation and we are being dishonest if we do not make note of this.

I removed this phrase as it has no reference other than to an independent site. This is not a valid reference and definitely is not NPOV.

"ACBSP has recently come under fire for its recent decision to accredit University of Phoenix. ACBSP Disappointment blasts ACBSP for allegedly compromising it's values and mission."

How to address quality issues.

This article reads like an advert. The ACBSP is a cover for low-quality schools, and that's why it has no specific standards for what business schools need to do. It's just not a serious quality mark for students. --Duncan (talk) 17:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Duncan, you should alert CHEA that they have made a serious error in recognizing ACBSP. Please remember to forward your independent research to support your “astute” observation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.40.67.249 (talk) 02:28, 11 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

This article badly needs...

a hell of a lot more information about 1) What is their current relationship with government "accreditor accrediting" entities 2) To what degree credits from institutions that they accredit can be acknowledged by and transferred to normally accredited institutions (state universities, for instance) 3) What process they go through to establish that institutions are worthy. I've done some Google searches and come up with bupkiss. Just page after page of schools I've never heard of touting the fact that they're "Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs Accredited". - Richfife (talk) 17:45, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Just because they are schools you've never heard of doesn't make them bad schools. ACBSP accredits business programs at various state schools (some maybe in Candidacy); not necessarily the flagship campuses, but state schools nonetheless: Northwest Missouri State University, University of Texas - San Antonio, University of Puerto Rico system, University of Wisconsin - Stout, University of Maine - Augusta, University of just to name a few. A complete list of schools is available at that ACBSP website. I think their Standards and Criteria are also available on their website. ACBSP accreditation procedure is based on the Baldrige National Quality Program criteria. 131.193.233.192 (talk) 17:59, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

This organization is not accepted by US education department, please refer to the list of Office of Post-secondary Education:

However, it is recognized by CHEA (see this list, which means its accreditation is acceptable in the United States. --Orlady (talk) 18:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that's right. AACSB International which is a prestigious accrediting organization of business programs and schools is also not on the list of USDOE but is recognized by CHEA. Both AACSB and ACBSP were once recognized by the USDOE until a change of policy. (Auditguy (talk) 13:35, 10 March 2010 (UTC)).Reply

The ACBSP is now formally known as the "Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs", according to their website.(Auditguy (talk) 10:18, 27 October 2010 (UTC))Reply

Thanks! I renamed the article accordingly. --Orlady (talk) 19:34, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
