Inquiries about Rollins College, such as admission requirements, financial aid, educational programs, etc., should be sent directly to Rollins College and not to the Commission’s office. The Commission is to be contacted only if there is evidence that appears to support that Rollins is not in compliance with a requirement or a standard of accreditation.
AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business)
The Rollins College Crummer Graduate School of Business is internationally accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB-Accredited schools have the highest quality faculty, relevant and challenging curriculum, and provide educational and career opportunities that are not found at other business schools. AACSB Accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Fewer than 5% of the world’s 13,000 business programs have earned AACSB Accreditation. AACSB-accredited schools produce graduates that are highly skilled and more desirable to employers than other non-accredited schools.
In addition, the Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (EDBA) was the first EDBA in the state of Florida to be accredited by AACSB.
