School of Business Administration Earns Reaffirmation of its Accreditation

Widener University’s School of Business Administration has achieved reaffirmation of its business accreditation by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The AACSB International Board of Directors granted the accreditation on April 2 and officially announced the news today.

“With only seven percent of business schools in the world accredited by this prestigious organization, we are extremely proud of this achievement,” said School of Business Administration Dean Savas Ozatalay.

Widener’s School of Business Administration received its initial accreditation by the AACSB International in 1997. Following a three-day review in February 2008 by the AACSB Maintenance of Accreditation Committee, Widener was granted accreditation for another full term of six years.

“As in the past, we will continue to provide the best business education to our students and maintain relationships with our community and business partners,” Dean Ozatalay said.

To achieve accreditation, business programs must satisfy the expectations of a wide range of quality standards relating to strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students in the educational process and achievement of learning goals in degree programs. These standards are mission-linked.
