Accreditation of Business Programs Reaffirmed by ACBSP

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has reaffirmed accreditation of LIM College’s business programs*.

ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the business degrees and programs offered through LIM College meet rigorous educational standards. Based on the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence, ACBSP accreditation evaluates aspects of leadership, strategic planning, relationships with stakeholders, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials, and educational support to determine whether the business programs offer a rigorous educational experience and demonstrate continuous quality improvement.

“LIM College has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process,” said ACBSP Chief Accreditation Officer Dr. Steve Parscale.

ACBSP is a leading specialized accreditation body for business education. ACBSP accredits business, accounting, and business-related programs at the associate, baccalaureate, master, and doctorate degree levels. Recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in 2001, 2011, and again in 2021, ACBSP was the first to offer specialized business accreditation at all degree levels. ACBSP currently accredits business programs at more than 1,200 campuses in 60 countries.

The business programs at LIM College were first accredited by ACBSP in 2013. The College is required to go through the reaffirmation process every 10 years to maintain ACBSP accreditation.
