GARY — The IU Northwest School of Business and Economics and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) have announced that a recent peer review panel has reaffirmed the School’s status as an AACSB-accredited undergraduate and masters-level business program for the next five years. This is the second time the School has been reaccredited since its initial accreditation in 2005. IU Northwest remains the only public business program in Northwest Indiana to carry AACSB accreditation, a distinction attained by only five percent of business schools worldwide.

According to Anna Rominger, dean of IU Northwest’s School of Business and Economics, maintaining AACSB accreditation is a testament to the quality of faculty, staff and students of the School, and provides students with advantages in the workforce.
