Argosy University Awarded Accreditation of its Business Programs

ORANGE, Calif., June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has awarded Argosy University initial accreditation of business programs across 19 campuses and its online division.

Argosy University, with 28 campus locations in 13 states and online, is a private, accredited academic institution dedicated to providing undergraduate and graduate degree programs to students. The programs granted ACBSP accreditation include the associate, bachelor, master and doctoral programs in business administration as well as master of science programs in management, human resources and organizational leadership.

Established in 1988, ACBSP is the only organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the business programs and degrees offered by the department of business in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Business and Management at Argosy University meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP.

Based on the criteria of the National Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award, ACBSP accreditation evaluates aspects of the institutional leadership, strategic planning processes, relationships with the community, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials and services, and educational support to determine whether or not the institution offers a rigorous educational experience and demonstrates continuous quality improvement.

"Argosy University has shown a commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process," said ACBSP Chief Accreditation Officer Dr. Steve Parscale, who will present the certificate of initial accreditation at the ACBSP conference 2015 in Philadelphia on June 14. "This accreditation is evidence that Argosy University is committed to providing the highest quality business education for their students."

"The grant of programmatic accreditation from ACBSP is affirmation that the accredited business programs at Argosy University meet the standards established by this leading professional organization, and that our faculty, curriculum and support systems offer our students an uncompromising education," said Stuart Sigman, Ph.D., dean of the undergraduate business programs and the Graduate School of Business and Management at Argosy University.
