IU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ON ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACBSP ACCREDITATION

On January 2, 2024, the School of Business, International University officially achieved accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) for all four of its majors: Business Administration, International Business, Marketing, and Hospitality Management.

In Vietnam, there are currently 10 institutions participating in the accreditation process, of which 4 have completed ACBSP accreditation. However, among the 4 accredited institutions, only 2 universities have achieved the A level (fully-accredited) – meeting all standards. International University is proud to be one of those. International University is the first public university in Vietnam to achieve the ACBSP full accreditation standard at A level.

Dr. Ha Minh Tri – Dean of School of Business Administration – shared: “Currently, a total of 1,200 universities in 60 countries are participating in the ACBSP accreditation. The ACBSP’s accreditation is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in the United States. Major US universities also under this accreditation include Alabama State University, Albany State University, California State University, Chicago State University, Florida A&M University,… . Our School of Business Administration has achieved the ACBSP standard with the highest term of 10 years. Our graduates will also receive clear benefits if they wish to pursue further education or choose to work abroad, as they have been educated and graduated from an internationally standardised program.”

This event marks an important step in enhancing the educational and training quality of the School of Business Administration, the fields of Business Administration, International Business, Marketing, and Hospitality Management in particular, as well as the International University (IU- VNU HCMC) in general.

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) is a global business education, founded in 1988. ACBSP ignites a standard of excellence with an accreditation process based on the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence. By evaluating aspects of leadership, strategic planning, relationships with stakeholders, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials, and educational support, ACBSP assesses whether or not business programs offer a rigorous educational experience and commitment to continuous quality improvement.

Major U.S. universities are also accredited by ACBSP, including: Alabama State University, Albany State University, California State University, Chicago State University, Florida A&M University, and more.
