Every five years, AACSB requires accredited institutions to undergo a review to maintain their accreditation. Its accreditation marks the highest standard of achievement for business schools. Less than 5 percent of the world's business programs have earned AACSB accreditation. AACSB has been developing accreditation standards since 1919.
