The University of Northern Iowa has announced its Wilson College of Business has earned supplemental accounting accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), becoming the first business school in the world to achieve this distinction through an accelerated process. This places Wilson among fewer than 200 institutions worldwide with this accreditation. The recognition follows a comprehensive review and highlights the college’s strong faculty-student engagement, rigorous curriculum and high CPA exam pass rates. “AACSB is an organization that helps us focus on continuous improvement. It provides a stamp of quality, assuring the public we are achieving certain expectations,” Leslie Wilson, dean of the Wilson College of Business, said in a prepared statement. “When they come back and review us, they expect continuous improvement. They expect responsiveness to what is going on in the external world. They expect we are meeting the demands of employers. They expect that we are delivering upon our mission.”
