AACSB Accreditation
Aside from its many other distinctions, the UCR School of Business Administration (SoBA) is proud to be an AACSB-accredited institution. This distinction places the business school in a league above most others. Below are some facts about AACSB accreditation:
- Only five percent of business schools in the world are AACSB-accredited.
- Twenty percent of companies recruit only from AACSB-accredited business degree programs.
- Graduates from AACSB-accredited programs receive higher and more competitive salaries.
In keeping with the AACSB imprint of excellence, SoBA centers its efforts around two central themes:
- Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth
- Leadership, Strategic Thinking and Personal Growth
The first theme is outward-looking (fostering growth that benefits the economy) while the second theme is inward-looking (fostering growth on an individual level). For more information, read the SoBA strategic plan.
