Candidate for Accreditation
A candidate for accreditation of business programs is an academic business unit that has successfully completed the candidacy review process, and (i) has developed an appropriate outcomes assessment plan, (ii) has met the IACBE’s candidacy requirements relating to its business programs, resources, and operational processes, (iii) has affirmed its commitment to excellence in business education, and (iv) is eligible to undergo an accreditation review of its business programs. While the academic business unit holds candidacy status, accreditation will only apply to the programs included for review by the Board of Commissioners during the accreditation process (not the overall academic business unit).
Member with Accredited Programs
A member with accredited programs has successfully completed the IACBE accreditation review process and the academic business unit that offers the programs has affirmed its commitment to excellence in business education as related to the accredited programs. The accreditation covers the programs specifically granted accreditation and not the overall academic business unit. Member benefits, such as reduced rates to attend workshops or conferences, will be available to employees and students of the institution. (Note: The criteria for accreditation are contained in the IACBE’s Self-Study Manual.)
