Dalton State’s Wright School of Business achieves AACSB reaffirmation

Posted on

Dalton State College’s C. Lamar and Ann Wright School of Business (WSOB) remains among the top business schools in the world after achieving accreditation reaffirmation with AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

“The rigorous AACSB standards push us to continuously improve and innovate in our programs, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of business education. I am incredibly proud of our team’s efforts and this recognition, which solidifies our position among the world’s leading business schools. This reaccreditation is not just an accolade, but a promise to our students and community that we will continue to deliver excellence in business education for years to come,” Marilyn Helms, dean of the WSOB, said. 

The school achieved initial accreditation in 2010 and successfully completed its third five-year AACSB Business Program Accreditation Continuous Improvement Review this past September. Only 6% of the world’s leading business schools achieve AACSB accreditation, the highest standard of quality in business education.

“Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development, and student learning. The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB.

Helms noted that the reaffirmation is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the school’s faculty, staff and students and that the achievement demonstrates their commitment to providing high-quality business education and preparing graduates for success in the global marketplace. 

Dalton State offers six Bachelors of Business Administration programs and a variety of minors for both business and non-business majors. To learn more about the WSOB, visit daltonstate.edu.
