Dominican University’s Brennan School of Business has been re-accredited for five years by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the gold standard of international business schools. Only 5 percent of the world’s business schools earn this prestigious accreditation, which measures excellence in teaching, research and professional engagement, curriculum development, student learning and strategic management and innovation. The Brennan received its initial accreditation in 2014, when it was the only AACSB-accredited business school in Chicago’s western suburbs.
 
Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and the largest business education network connecting students, educators, and businesses worldwide. Today, 831 institutions across 54 countries and territories have earned AACSB accreditation.
 
“I am pleased that AACSB has acknowledged how the Brennan School’s sense of mission and purpose reflects Dominican University’s core values of compassion and truth. This re-accreditation reaffirms the school’s commitment to developing successful business leaders through a strong foundation in ethics, experiential learning opportunities across all programs, international study, and a comprehensive career development program,” said Dr. Roberto Curci, dean of the Brennan School of Business.
