Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP)

ATHEA is proud of its strategic partnership with the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), a global leader in business school accreditation. Since its establishment in 1988, ACBSP has been at the forefront of business education accreditation, accrediting programs at all degree levels, from associate to doctoral programs. 

Unlike other accrediting bodies that prioritize research, ACBSP focuses on teaching excellence, student learning outcomes, and continuous improvement, ensuring that business schools remain dynamic, innovative, and aligned with industry needs. As the first accrediting body for business programs recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), ACBSP sets the benchmark for global best practices and academic excellence in business education. 

ATHEA’s strategic alignment with ACBSP is driven by a shared commitment to academic excellence, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. This partnership strengthens accreditation pathways, promotes best practices, and fosters innovation in business education—empowering institutions worldwide to enhance their academic standing and global recognition.
