Accreditation and Strategic Plan

Accreditation

The Huntsman School of Business programs in business and accounting are accredited by AACSB International–The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB is the premier accrediting association for business and accounting programs.

Strategic Plan

As one of the first universities in the western United States to offer a degree in commerce, the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business has an illustrious history of fostering research and scholarship, advancing the practice of business and management and providing lifelong learning. The college is home to four academic departments: Economics and Finance, Management,  Management Information Systems, and School of Accountancy. The college provides a culture that supports innovation and continuous improvement at the department and program levels and fosters a spirit of partnership among students, faculty, and other constituents based on mutual respect, trust, and benefit.

Since business is the lifeblood for successful and prosperous communities, we envision our college as dedicated to bridging business theory with successful and ethical business practices. The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business expects our graduates to be entrepreneurial and prepared to compete in the global marketplace. Entrepreneurs create solutions that add value to society and the economy by reinterpreting the world rather than waiting for the world to define them.

The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business aspires to improve its national stature. Within the next ten years the college seeks to be nationally recognized. We are focusing on four areas as we make transformational changes at the Huntsman School of Business. We are helping students realize the importance of ethical leadership, we are fueling the entrepreneurial spirit within each of them, we are helping them get a global vision of what they can do and we are emphasizing the importance of analytical rigor.
