Jacksonville University’s Davis College of Business announced Aug. 10 the extension of its accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
“The Davis College of Business is proud to once again have our accreditation extended by the international accrediting body, AACSB,” said Barbara Ritter, dean of Davis College, in a news release.
Since 2010, Davis College has been the only AACSB-accredited private business school in North Florida and South Georgia.
Accreditation is a multiyear process guided by an association-assigned mentor and a peer-reviewed evaluation.
Schools develop and implement a plan that aligns with the association’s accreditation standards, which require excellence in areas of strategic management and innovation; student, faculty and staff engagement; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.
Fewer than 900 institutions, about 5% of the business-focused higher education programs in 57 countries and territories, have accreditation.
The Davis College of Business offers a range of undergraduate business majors such as accounting, business analytics and sports business.
The college also offers full-time and part-time Master of Business Administration programs, as well as Online MBA, Executive MBA and Doctor of Business Administration programs.
