The Dillard College of Business Administration at Midwestern State University is an accredited member of AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). We attained this accreditation in April 2010. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
Less than 5% of the more than 16,000 schools worldwide granting business degrees have earned AACSB Accreditation. AACSB-accredited schools produce graduates that are highly skilled and more desirable to employers than other non-accredited schools.
Why is this accreditation important?
AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.

AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education.
