AACSB reaffirms the quality of RIT's
business programs

Saunders College of Business earned extended accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
(AACSB) International, the premier accrediting organization for business schools
worldwide. Since 2011, RIT Croatia has been running Saunder's International Business undergraduate
program which is included in this accreditation, and the Zagreb campus
participated in the reaccreditation process.
"With RIT having the prestigious AACSB accreditation now for
32 years, we were the first Croatian higher education institution to
deliver an AACSB accredited degree program in Croatia and the
region. Having gone through several rigorous re-evaluations for extensions
of the accreditation, this tests to the very high quality of our degree
program," said Don Hudspeth, President and Dean of RIT Croatia.
Saunders College was one of 38 business
schools to receive this extended accreditation in business in April 2020. AACSB
accreditation is focused on maintaining and promoting the highest standards in
business education; less than five percent of institutions around the world
that offer business degrees at the bachelor’s level or higher, have received
this recognition. Saunder's College of Business initially achieved this
distinction and honor in 1988 and has been reaffirmed several times (the
re-accreditation currently occurs every 5 years), now most recently in 2020.
