Shenandoah Achieves 15-Year Milestone for AACSB Accreditation Renewal

Business Programs Meet AACSB International Standards Since 2007

Shenandoah University School of Business achieved its five-year accreditation renewal in April with the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Dean Astrid Sheil, Ph.D., led the School of Business faculty and staff to the successful completion of this milestone.

Shenandoah University initially earned AACSB accreditation for its business programs in 2007, and has continued to maintain its high standards across its undergraduate and graduate programs.

Passing accreditation with AACSB requires us to focus on impact, innovation, and engagement in communities we serve, provide proof of continuous improvement, and maintain fidelity to the highest standards of instruction and research. This is why only 900 business schools in the world hold AACSB accreditation.”

Astrid Sheil, Ph.D. | Dean, Shenandoah University School of Business

AACSB International is a global nonprofit association that connects educators, students and businesses to achieve a common goal: to create the next generation of great leaders. AACSB accreditation is a hallmark of excellence in management and business education. It represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.

Founded in 1916, it is the longest-serving and largest global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in business and accounting. For more information about AACSB International, visit www.aacsb.edu.

Shenandoah University School of Business offers academically relevant business programs and cutting-edge certificates in management, accounting, economics and finance, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and esports while providing entrepreneurial and international learning opportunities for students. The School of Business offers a yearly signature Business Symposium, which brings inspirational business speakers to campus.
