SBPA earns AACSB international accreditation

AACSB International (AACSB) announced that University of the District of Columbia (UDC) has earned business accreditation for its School of Business and Public Administration (SBPA). Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools and the largest business education network connecting learners, educators and businesses worldwide.

“AACSB accreditation recognizes institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development and student learning,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and global chief accreditation officer of AACSB. “We congratulate University of the District of Columbia and School of Business and Public Administration Dean Mohamad Sepehri, Ph.D., on earning accreditation and applaud the entire SBPA —including the administration, faculty, staff and students—for their roles in earning this respected honor.”

“The School of Business and Public Administration at the University of the District of Columbia, along with our many stakeholders, treasure AACSB accreditation,” said Sepehri. “The work toward this accreditation solidifies our preeminent status among peer institutions. The quality of the intellectual contributions at the University has helped UDC position itself to pursue Research 2 (R2) status and this accreditation is an endorsement and validation of our remarkable progress and achievements.”

“Achieving AACSB accreditation reflects the university’s dedication and determination,” said UDC President Ronald Mason Jr. “This accreditation is well deserved and shows the commitment of Dean Sepehri and the SBPA as they continually pursue excellence. I am incredibly proud of our team for accomplishing this goal. The impact of this accreditation will benefit our students for years to come.”
