Indiana Wesleyan University-National and Global (IWU) is proud to announce that it has received accreditation for its business and accounting degrees within the DeVoe School of Business.
The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) www.acbsp.org Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners voted in January to accredit IWU-National and Global’s business programs for 10 years. This accreditation includes business and accounting degree programs under IWU’s DeVoe School of Business. ACBSP accredits established programs that have produced at least one graduating class, have completed three cycles of data collection and assessment, and meet the ACBSP accreditation standards.
The Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Accounting programs also received a separate ACBSP accounting accreditation distinction. In order to receive this accreditation, the accounting faculty had to respond to and present data and information showing compliance with a set of accounting program accreditation standards.
“Achieving ACBSP accreditation for the DeVoe School of Business has been a long-term goal that we are proud to have now achieved,” said Dr. Mark Brooker, dean of the DeVoe School of Business. “This successful accomplishment was reached with the hard work of our business faculty, staff, students and administration along with the support of other colleagues across IWU-National & Global and the business community. We believe that having ACBSP accredited business and accounting programs will assure students, employers, our community and other key stakeholders that the DeVoe School of Business is committed to continually improving the academic and learning experience.”
Based on the Baldridge Education Criteria for Performance Excellence, ACBSP accreditation evaluates aspects of leadership, strategic planning, relationships with stakeholders, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials, and educational support to determine whether or not the business programs
“The DeVoe School of Business at IWU-National & Global 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 Steve Parscale,
