This past year we went through our five-year annual accreditation review. The team was impressed with what we are doing and in March we received notice that our accreditation was being extended for an additional five years. The team noted several areas of commendation and best practice, including our international study trips that are providing learning experiences in a global setting; the Grant Thornton Accounting Success Academy; and the MAcc curriculum redesign with tracks supporting both public accounting and industry.
Having a separately accredited accounting program places us in a select group of schools around the world. Globally, only 188 programs hold separate AACSB accounting accreditation.
