Harris-Stowe State University's Anheuser-Busch School of Business
Again Accredited for the Next 10 Years
ST. LOUIS, MO (December 5, 2012) - In a letter dated November 18, 2012,
Harris-Stowe State University's Anheuser-Busch School of Business
received formal notification of its Accreditation Council for Business
Schools and Programs (ACBSP) institutional accreditation status, and is
proud to announce that the ACBSP Board of Commissioners has reaffirmed
Harris-Stowe's accreditation for the next 10 years.
On October 7-10, 2012, the Anheuser-Busch School of Business underwent a
review of its self-study during a site visit by the ACBSP, which was
hosted by a university-wide committee of faculty, staff and
administrators. During the comprehensive visit, ACBSP team members
gained valuable insight into the business programs, processes and
procedures practiced by the university and met with various
stakeholders, including students, alumni, Board of Regents and community
leaders.
"The university recognizes the value of ACBSP accreditation. Not only
the accredited status creates prestige, visibility and credibility for
the institution, the pursuit of accreditation reaffirmation reinforces
the university and the school's commitment to continuous improvement and
innovation" states Dr. Zakery, dean of the Anheuser-Busch School of
Business.
ACBSP, founded in 1988, is a leading specialized accreditation
association for business education supporting, celebrating, and
rewarding teaching excellence. The ACBSP was created by its members to
fulfill a need for specialized accreditation by institutions of higher
education with business schools and programs. Specifically, that need
was for business education accreditation based on the mission of the
institution and of the respective unit, an accreditation that
acknowledged and emphasized quality in teaching and learning outcomes.
Harris-Stowe State University, located in midtown St. Louis, is a
four-year institution that offers 14 degree programs in the areas of
Accounting, Business Administration, Biology, Criminal Justice, Early
Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Health Care Management,
Hospitality and Tourism Management, Information Sciences and Computer
Technology, Mathematics, Middle School Education, Professional
Interdisciplinary Studies, Secondary Education and Urban Affairs. Ranked
by U.S. News as one of America's Best Colleges in the Midwest, the
university, which has been in existence for more than 150 years, offers
the most affordable bachelor's degree in the metropolitan area.
