Established in 1916, AACSB is a global non-profit association connecting educators, students and business to achieve a common goal of creating the next generation of great leaders and foster engagement, accelerate innovation, and amplify impact in business education. 

AACSB accreditation provides a framework of 9 international standards against which business schools around the world assess the quality of their educational services, ensuring that they have the resources, credentials, and commitment needed to provide students with a first-rate, future-focused business education.  

The University joins more than 900 business schools worldwide which have achieved AACSB accreditation, including 39 within the UK.

Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB said: “We congratulate Sheffield Hallam University on earning accreditation, and applaud the entire Sheffield Business School team - including the administration, faculty, staff, and students - for their roles in earning this respected honour. 

“Sheffield Hallam University’s commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of their dedication - not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole.

“Today’s students are tomorrow’s business leaders, and the addition of the Sheffield Business School to the network of AACSB-accredited business schools will have a lasting positive impact for their institution, both locally and globally.”
