The SIUE School of Business is among only 5% of the estimated 16,000 business programs worldwide that are accredited by AACSB International—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Additionally, we hold a separate AACSB accreditation for our accounting program, a distinction which can only be claimed by 25% of all AACSB accredited institutions. Clearly, this puts us in very select company! Please visit the AACSB website to learn more about the standards used to ensure that we continuously monitor, improve, and offer a quality business education.

If you are interested in the world of business, I am confident that one of our degree programs will meet your needs.
We are proud to have over 26,000 alumni leading companies and public agencies such as The Boeing Company, Edward Jones, Price Waterhouse Coopers, KPMG, Monsanto, Union Pacific, The Federal Reserve, and many others across the globe. Other alumni are successful entrepreneurs and civic leaders; one of our MBA alumni even finished his degree after being elected to the US House of Representatives!
