The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business has accredited the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Management in both business and accounting for another five years.

AACSB International accreditation has been earned by less than five percent of the world's business programs. The additional specialized accounting accreditation is held by just 181 business schools in the world, or about 1.4 percent.

The UAF School of Management is the only program in Alaska with the specialized accounting accreditation. In less than a decade, the school has seen a 60 percent increase in majors and a 150 percent increase in graduates.

Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
