RIT's
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.
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.
