On June 10, 2022, the School of Management of HFUT received an official letter from the AACSB International Accreditation Committee (IAC), notifying it successfully received our third-round progress report submitted on February 15, 2022, and the School officially entered the final stage of AACSB accreditation of self-evaluation report writing and on-site visit, signaling a significant phase result achieved by the School in the AACSB international accreditation.
The School registered as an AACSB member in October 2016 and carried out accreditation work. In August 2019, the initial self-evaluation report (ISER) was passed and entered the continuous improvement phase. The first- and second- round progress reports were submitted in June 2020 and May 2021, respectively, and passed the review smoothly.
In recent years, the School has adhered to the mission of "exploring advanced management theories, cultivating outstanding management talents, serving national economic construction, and developing human science and culture" and the vision of "gathering scientific masters and attracting first-class students". Combined with the construction of "Double First-Class", all teachers and students of the School have actively participated in various aspects of accreditation work. The School has carried out active reforms and explorations in disciplinary construction, talent cultivation, scientific research, faculty development, social services, and international exchange and cooperation, and has achieved significant results and breakthroughs, successfully meeting various accreditation standards. During this process, Professor Li Tianxing from Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, China, gave careful guidance to us.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), also known as the International Association of Elite Business Schools in Chinese, was established in 1916. After over a hundred years of development, AACSB's norms and evaluation standards have become the authoritative standards for global management education, and are recognized as one of the authoritative accreditation agencies by business schools worldwide
