Today marks a major milestone for the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS) as it joins an elite group of 6% of institutions worldwide accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.
The EMS Faculty was awarded the international business education accreditation, following a rigorous peer-review process, which began in 2018. AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and the largest business education network connecting learners, educators and businesses worldwide.
The accreditation award highlights the University of Pretoria's (UP) commitment to the highest standard of commerce education and global excellence. EMS is the first faculty of its kind in South Africa and Africa to be accredited by the AACSB.
βThis international stamp of approval is a major milestone for the faculty and UP, and strengthens our position as a global role player. It confirms our commitment to advance relevant knowledge, and develop employable, innovative and diverse graduates to co-create value for society. We will continue to offer quality teaching and impactful research that has a positive societal impact,β said Professor Margaret Chitiga-Mabugu, Dean of the EMS Faculty.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this honour.
