Frostburg State University’s College of Business recently received a five-year extension of accreditation for its business degree programs by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

AACSB accreditation standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; active student, faculty and staff participation; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.

“Extending our AACSB accreditation supports the College of Business’s efforts to ensure our programs align with the very best practices in business education,” said Dr. Sudhir Singh, dean of the FSU College of Business. “Frostburg State has been accredited by AACSB since 2005. It is a valuable accomplishment to be reaffirmed for the quality of our educational experience and our commitment to continuous improvement.”
