Reaching the next level of distinction and raising the bar again: LBS celebrates its membership in the AACSB, reaffirming our commitment to global excellence.

After earning our official ACBSP accreditation on July 1, 2023, Lauder Business School is once again raising the bar for our students and alumni. We’re proud to announce our membership in the AACSB (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) Business Education Alliance — one of the most prestigious global networks in business education.

AACSB International is globally regarded as a leading authority in business school accreditation and membership. Established in 1916, AACSB connects over 1,900 organizations across more than 100 countries and territories. Its mission is to elevate the quality and impact of business education worldwide through rigorous standards, meaningful collaboration, and thought leadership.

As a member of the AACSB Business Education Alliance, Lauder Business School joins a global network of institutions dedicated to shaping the future of business education and practice. Membership is a prestigious distinction that reflects our alignment with AACSB’s values of innovation, engagement, and impact. While membership itself does not imply accreditation, it is the first step in a multi-year journey toward achieving AACSB accreditation — a process that typically spans five years and involves comprehensive self-evaluation, peer review, and continuous strategic development.

For Lauder Business School, AACSB membership represents a deepened commitment to providing a transformative and internationally competitive educational experience. Being part of the AACSB network enhances our ability to collaborate with top business schools and thought leaders around the world. It also supports our efforts to integrate cutting-edge research, practical business knowledge, and high-impact learning into our programs.

Our involvement with AACSB will also allow us to further strengthen our ties with international academic institutions and business partners, foster innovation in teaching and curriculum development, and pursue best practices in development and institutional leadership.

Together with AACSB, Lauder Business School is committed to shaping the future of business — responsibly, ethically, and globally.
