“We follow the continuous quality improvement practices we teach to our students in a student-centered learning approach that provides graduates with practical problem-solving skills, leadership abilities, data analysis, environmental awareness, and good citizenship," Kleintop continued. "We practice what we teach and what businesses do and ACBSP recognized that that quality."
Professor Gary Kaskowitz, chair of the Economics and Business Department explained that ACBSP accreditation assures students that they are gaining the right knowledge and skills for their educational investment. “We are focused on our students and preparing them for them for life after college. We work with local businesses to understand their needs as well as to provide opportunities to students, importnat activities recognized by ACBSP.”
