Shreveport Celebrates LSU College of Business’s Latest Achievement
In the heart of Shreveport, there’s exciting news buzzing around LSU Shreveport’s College of Business, which just received an extension of its accreditation from The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). This is a huge deal, considering that less than six percent of business schools worldwide achieve this prestigious accreditation. It’s like a gold star for schools, and LSU Shreveport is shining brightly!
The College of Business has been on a roll, maintaining continuous accreditation from AACSB for over three decades. That’s right, for more than thirty years, the college has been recognized for its commitment to excellence. To earn this accreditation, the institution underwent a rigorous process, which included detailed assessments, mentorship, and thorough evaluations by peers in the academic field. Talk about putting in the work!
Focusing on **Excellence**
The standards set by AACSB are not just a walk in the park. They emphasize key areas like strategic management, research, innovation, teaching, and learning. Essentially, the college is held to a high standard that ultimately benefits students, preparing them to be leaders in the business world. It’s a testament to the ongoing dedication and hard work from faculty and administration.
This achievement is part of a larger trend at LSU Shreveport, which has seen a surge in enrollment numbers — reaching record-breaking figures in 2024. That’s no small feat! The university is also making waves nationally by ranking as the best on the Economic Mobility Index. This index measures how well institutions help low-income students improve their socioeconomic status after graduation. It’s great to see that LSU Shreveport is genuinely making a difference in the lives of students in the Shreveport-Bossier area and throughout Louisiana.
Expressing Gratitude and Looking Forward
