There are 182 schools that hold the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business's (AACSB) Accounting Accreditation. The AACSB accredits business schools by evaluating critical areas of each school to ensure that it provides a top-quality education,[1] and schools can apply for accounting accreditation, which focusses on the schools' accounting programs, in addition to business accreditation.[2]
Accreditation is gained and maintained via a peer-review system, and schools are assessed in the context of their respective missions rather than against a fixed standard.[3] The accounting accreditation process starts with the submission of an eligibility application, and includes self-evaluation and peer review. Schools that hold the accounting accreditation need to maintain it via a separate process every five years.[2]
As of 2013, the AACSB estimated that 5% of all business programs internationally, and almost all elite programs in the United States, held AACSB accreditation.[3] AACSB accreditation is seen as a standard requirement in graduate business education, and universities are more likely to accept transfer credit earned from accredited schools;[4] it has been called "the hallmark of excellence in business education".[5]
