Business Division
Awarded Reaffirmation of Accreditation
 

The Division of Business and Information Systems at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA) has been awarded reaffirmation of accreditation for 10 years by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

Speaking on behalf of the ACBSP, Douglas G. Viehland, Executive Director, said, “Phillips College has shown its commitment to teaching excellence by participating in the accreditation process, achieving accreditation and continuing the process of quality improvement.  This accreditation is evidence of Phillips College’s commitment to quality business programs.

For institutions that achieve accreditation for their business schools and programs, this attainment certifies that the teaching and learning processes within that institution meet the rigorous educational standards established by the ACBSP.  The confirmation of accreditation by ACBSP covers a 10-year period during which time Phillips College must continually reaffirm its quality through quality assurance reports. 

ACBSP’s mission is to establish, promote, and recognize educational practices that contribute to the continuous quality improvement of business education programs, teaching of business courses, and student learning outcomes in colleges and universities throughout the United States and abroad. ACBSP was established in 1988 and is the only business accrediting organization for both associate and baccalaureate/graduate degree institutions.  ACBSP has over 587 member institutions and is located in Overland Park, Kansas.  For more information, go to www.acbsp.org.
