University of Washington, Bothell has earned independent accreditation of its business degree programs by recent action of the Board of Directors of AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees in business and accounting.

UW-Bothell joins an elite group of institutions that have achieved business accreditation from AACSB International. Only 633 schools of business, or less than 5 percent worldwide, have earned this distinguished hallmark of excellence in management education.

To achieve accreditation, an institution’s business program must undergo a meticulous internal review and evaluation process. During this period, the school must develop and implement a mission-driven plan to satisfy 21 quality standards relating to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students, continuous improvement, and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
