The Orfalea College of Business had its accreditation by AACSB International (AACSB) extended for another five years.

For over a century, AACSB accreditation has represented the highest standard of quality in business education.  Fewer than six percent of the business schools in the world receive AACSB accreditation.

The AACSB review team, composed of deans from peer business schools, engaged in a comprehensive, continuous improvement review process that reaffirmed the quality and effectiveness of Orfalea’s degree programs, co-curricular programs, and career readiness outcomes.

Dean Damon Fleming said the successful review process exemplifies the collective effort of the college.

“The Orfalea College of Business is a transformational leader in experiential business education,” he said. “I am grateful to all the faculty, staff, students, alumni, and advisory council members who participated in the comprehensive review to achieve AACSB extension of accreditation—it is a testament to the dedication and shared vision of all Orfalea stakeholders”
