A Major Breakthrough in RBS’International Accreditation Pursuit

　　On March 21, AACSB（The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business，）officially recommended Renmin Business School to proceed to the initial accreditation process which is the quickest path rarely given by AACSB to its members, in recognition of RBS’ endeavor to attain the accreditation and also the last and most significant milestone of the whole accreditation process.

　　After nearly a year of idea dissemination, work procedure design, action planning and report writing., RBS submitted its Standards Alignment Plan in last November. . The Plan, consistent with the 21 standards, fully evaluates the School’s status quo and alignment actions in respect of the School’s mission statement, development strategy, research strength, faculty team building, student cultivation and assurance of learning.

　　Two committees of AACSB, Pre-Accreditation Committee and Initial Accreditation Committee, (whose members are 37 deans of business schools around the world) highly regarded RBS’ effort to achieve the accreditation and exempted RBS from implementation period which usually takes one to two years. Both committees unanimously agreed that RBS is sufficiently ready to enter initial accreditation process, including self-evaluation report writing and on-site peer review visit..

　　Through pursing international accreditations, RBS strives to introduce the latest ideas of top international business education, with the mission “We create management knowledge, educate leadership talents, and shape business practices locally and globally, to advance social progress.”,  and takes the opportunity to advance organizational restructuring by strengthening strategic planning, faulty management and assurance of learning.
