Continuing more than five decades of excellence

Dear alumni, partners and friends.

The Alberta School of Business has once again earned renewal of its AACSB accreditation, extending our accreditation for another five years and continuing a distinction we've held since 1968 as Canada's longest continuously accredited business school.

AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is one of the world's most respected standards for business education. Every five years, schools undergo a rigorous peer review that examines everything from strategy and curriculum to research, student outcomes and societal impact.

For us, accreditation is about continually improving how we prepare future business leaders.

Today, that includes:

• Preparing students through experiential learning, including initiatives like the Impact Series and MBA capstone projects.
• Investing in future-focused programs, including the new Master of Management Analytics and Business Analytics major and the BUS Series of Courses — a new suite of courses creating future-ready undergraduate students.
• Creating modern learning environments, including our new Business Analytics Lab and Carruthers Student Commons.
• Advancing research that makes a difference, with faculty addressing challenges ranging from AI and entrepreneurship to sustainable cities and community well-being.

Strengthening partnerships with alumni, employers and industry, ensuring our programs continue to evolve alongside the changing needs of business and society.

This achievement reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, students, alumni and partners. Thank you for continuing to help shape the Alberta School of Business and the next generation of business leaders.
