A&M-Texarkana Earns AACSB International Accreditation

TEXARKANA, Texas – Texas A&M University-Texarkana has earned AACSB accreditation for its College of Business, Engineering, and Technology. Founded in 1916, AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and the most extensive business education network connecting students, educators, and businesses worldwide.

“AACSB Accreditation recognizes institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development, and student learning,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president, and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. “We congratulate Texas A&M University–Texarkana and Dean Gary Stading on earning accreditation, and applaud the entire A&M-Texarkana team—including the administration, visitors, faculty, staff, and students—for their roles in earning this respected honor.”

Synonymous with the highest standards of quality, AACSB Accreditation inspires new ways of thinking within business education globally and, as a result, has been earned by only five percent of the world’s schools offering business degrees at the bachelor level or higher.
