Edit Request
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The proposed changes seem to be intended only to promote – to present the association in a more positive light. Please note that Wikipedia does not tolerate promotion of any kind, and cannot, for legal reasons, host any deceptive native advertising. If there is any glaring error or omission of fact in the page, please draw attention to it here; but please note that volunteer editors have no interest in massaging content to make it appear more positive. |
@Justlettersandnumbers: Thank you for the feedback! After reviewing your feedback I can see why some of the proposed edits could be seen as native advertising. There are a few edits however, such as edits 4 and 6, that I believe are objective and sourced. If we were only to submit edits 4 and 6 with their sources, would they be accepted? We're not connected to the COI problems on this page from the past, and want to make sure we're going through the right protocol to abide by Wikipedia's standards. Thanks!

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, also known as AACSB International, is a non-profit professional association with three offices worldwide. AACSB’s global headquarters is in Tampa, Fla.;[1] its Europe, Middle East, and Africa headquarters is in Amsterdam;[2] and its Asia Pacific headquarters is in Singapore.[3] In its early years, AACSB was primarily regarded as an accrediting body[4], however in April 2017 the organization expanded its mission to assume the role as an industry-wide global connector[5] between the business education and business communities. Formerly known as the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, AACSB was founded in 1916 to accredit schools of business. Today, it is the world’s largest[6] global business education association[7] serving over 1,600 members – including academic institutions, businesses, NGOs and public sector organizations. According to BusinessBecause, AACSB is a benchmark for business school quality among the academic community.[8][9][10] From its start in the U.S. over a century ago, AACSB has expanded to 100 countries worldwide.[11] Primary activities include accreditation, industry research, thought leadership, professional development, and advocacy on behalf of the business education industry.[12][13][14]
AACSB offers two types of accreditation: business and accounting. In order to earn and sustain business accreditation, a school must align with 15 Accreditation Standards.[15] Business accreditation covers degree programs offered at the undergraduate or graduate level within business schools. To achieve accounting accreditation, an institution must first earn business accreditation and then fulfill standards specific to the discipline and profession of accounting.[16][17] The standards are developed in collaboration with, and feedback from representatives from the business education community.[18] Alumni of AACSB-accredited schools include 96% of the chief executives on the 2016 Financial Times’ “From MBA to CEO”.[19] AACSB accreditation is a qualifying criteria for inclusion in some business school rankings publications, and 90% of The Economist’s 2016 top 100 full-time MBA programs are housed in business schools that have earned AACSB accreditation.[20]
The organization was founded in 1916 as the Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (ACSB) by a group of seventeen American universities and colleges.[21] Since then, the organization has changed its name three times:[22]
The first accreditations took place in 1919 and for many years, only North American business schools were accredited by AACSB.[23][24] The first school outside of the United States to be accredited by AACSB was the University of Alberta in 1968[25] and the first school outside North America to be accredited was the grande école French business school ESSEC, in 1997.[26][27] In 2009, AACSB opened its first regional headquarters for Asia-Pacific in Singapore[3] and in 2014, AACSB opened its second regional headquarters for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (EMEA) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[2] In 2017, AACSB rebranded the organization and formally established The Business Education Alliance,[5] which represents all AACSB members, accredited and non-accredited institutions, as well as business organizations.[28][29] References
