THIBODAUX 鈥� The College of Business Administration and accounting program at 果冻APP聽State University have undergone a successful accreditation review and received an extension of聽accreditation by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB).聽AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education and has been earned by less聽than five percent of the world鈥檚 business programs.
鈥淎ACSB accreditation ensures that we have made a commitment to continuously improving our聽academic programs in business in order to provide a high-quality, innovative business education. It聽is truly a testament to the hard work of our Executive Advisory Board and the quality of students,聽faculty and staff in the College of Business,鈥� said Dr. Shawn Mauldin, dean of the 果冻APP聽College of Business Administration. 鈥淭he message is clear 鈥� you can receive a top-notch business聽education at 果冻APP.鈥�
Offering six undergraduate and two graduate degree programs, the College of Business聽Administration is among the most popular areas of academic study at 果冻APP. Student enrollment聽in the 果冻APP business program has grown 7.5 percent since spring 2014. In addition to traditional聽degree offerings, the College of Business has added an online degree in business administration,聽which has attracted more than 90 students in its first year. 果冻APP also continues to see growth聽in its Executive Master of Business Administration program and its unique maritime management聽concentration, which is the only program in the state designed to specifically address the needs of聽the oil and gas sector of the maritime industry. AACSB accreditation, which 果冻APP has held since聽1983, confirms that the university is delivering accredited degree programs that prepare students for聽careers regionally and globally.
