Is the College of Business accredited?
Yes, undergraduate and graduate programs at UTC's College of Business, in both business and accounting, are accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, www.aacsb.edu. Less than one-third of U.S. business schools and only 15% of business schools worldwide meet the rigorous standards of AACSB International accreditation. This distinction is an achievement requiring a tremendous amount of effort. UTC's College of Business is proud to be among those schools accredited by AACSB International.
