The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Baccalaureate\/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has reaffirmed accreditation of the business programs within Delta State University\u2019s College of Business.<\/p>\n
Established in 1988, ACBSP is the only organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the College of Business at Delta State University meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP.
\nDelta State was first accredited by ACBSP in 1995. The college is required to go through the reaffirmation process every 10 years to maintain the accreditation.<\/p>\n
\u201cDelta State University has shown their commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process,\u201d said Dr. Steve Parscale, ACBSP chief accreditation officer, who will present the Certificate of Reaffirmation of Accreditation at ACBSP Conference 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia on June 19.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis reaffirmation of accreditation is evidence that Delta State University is committed to maintaining the highest quality business education for their students for the next 10 years, just as they have done since 1995,\u201d added Parscale.<\/p>\n
Dr. Billy Moore, dean of Delta State\u2019s College of Business, was thrilled with the reaffirmation and praise from ACBSP.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccreditation is a method of self-regulation and quality assurance in higher education. Reaffirmation of our ACBSP accreditation signifies that DSU\u2019s College of Business programs continue to meet certain quality and integrity standards of management education,\u201d said Moore. \u201cCurrent and potential students, their parents, the business community, and other relevant constituents, can be assured that our college is offering current and relevant academic programs, has faculty that are highly qualified and experts in their disciplines, continues to hold itself to the highest standards of educational accountability, and are fully committed to continuous improvement. Our accreditation is good through 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations to the faculty, staff and student body of the College of Business on accomplishing this significant milestone,\u201d Moore added. \u201cThis reaffirmation is the result of their teamwork and commitment to providing a high-quality educational experience for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delta State\u2019s Dr. Charles McAdams, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, was also pleased with the reaffirmation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank the College of Business faculty and staff for their ongoing commitment to excellence and the concept of continuous improvement,\u201d said McAdams. \u201cReaccreditation by the ACBSP provides an external validation of the quality of the programs in that college. The process used to obtain this reaffirmation is arduous, and I congratulate Dean Moore and his faculty for their work on this significant accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n
