Penn College business programs reaffirmed by accrediting body
Monday, February 27, 2023
The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has reaffirmed accreditation of the accounting and business degrees at Pennsylvania College of Technology.
With more than 30 years of promoting excellence in global business program accreditation, ACBSP was the first organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the business degrees offered through Penn College meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP.
Based on the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence, ACBSP accreditation evaluates aspects of leadership, strategic planning, relationships with stakeholders, quality of academic programs, faculty credentials and educational support to determine whether the business programs offer a rigorous educational experience and demonstrate continuous quality improvement.
The accounting and business majors at Penn College were first accredited by ACBSP in 2006. The institution is required to go through the reaffirmation process every 10 years to maintain ACBSP accreditation.
“Pennsylvania College of Technology has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process,” said ACBSP Chief Accreditation Officer Steve Parscale. “This reaffirmation of accreditation is evidence that they are committed to maintaining the highest quality business education for their students for the next 10 years, just as they have done since 2006.”
“The ACBSP reaccreditation recognizes the quality and rigor of our business and accounting programs and the expertise of our faculty,” said Sue A. Kelley, dean of business, arts and sciences. “Penn College’s focus on hands-on learning means that our graduates are ready for industry with real-world experience obtained through internships and specialized class projects, often in collaboration with industry partners.”
Penn College’s accounting and business administration program comprises bachelor’s degrees in accounting, business administration and applied management, and associate degrees in accounting and business management. To learn more, call 570-327-4505.
