Succeeding in today's fast-moving global workplace requires confidence, business acumen and a solid education. The University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business provides this business expertise through degree programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

The best faculty, the best students, the best employers, and the best business recruiters in the world recognize and seek out schools whose programs have earned AACSB accreditation. Why? Because AACSB represents the best of the best, and faculty and students want the best possible educational experience. Employers and recruiters want the best talent, managers and future leaders.

The value of AACSB accreditation is paramount to business students and the schools they attend. As the largest and longest standing accrediting body for business schools, AACSB International ensures schools deliver a high-quality education to their students by demanding that accredited colleges pursue high standards and provide continuously relevant business education to students.

AACSB International business accreditation is an achievement earned only by programs of the highest caliber. Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.

Less than one-third of U.S. business school programs and only 15% of business school programs worldwide meet the rigorous standards of AACSB International accreditation. This distinction is an achievement requiring a tremendous amount of effort by business school leaders, but it's worth it.

AACSB International accreditation informs the world that a business school — like the Lindner College of Business — manages resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission. It speaks of faculty scholarship, high-caliber teaching of quality and current curricula, and meaningful interaction between students and faculty.
