I am proud of our faculty and staff&rsquo;s commitment to quality and continuous improvement.&rdquo;\r\n\r\nFounded in 1916, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools.\r\n\r\n&ldquo;Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development and student learning,&rdquo; said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB. &ldquo;The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.&rdquo;\r\n\r\nEvery five years, AACSB-accredited institutions undergo a review to earn an extension on their previous accreditation. Achieving accreditation involves a multi-year process of intense internal review, as well as a peer-review evaluation. AACSB requires schools to meet standards of excellence in areas relating to strategic management; teaching and learning; student, faculty and staff as active participants; and professional and academic engagement.\r\n\r\nLaunched in 1982, GSOM has been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/about-clark\/rankings-and-recognition\">recognized<\/a>&nbsp;repeatedly&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a title='The Princeton review as a \"Best Business School\"' href=\"https:\/\/www.princetonreview.com\/business\/clark-university--graduate-school-management-1036456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Princeton Review as a &#8220;Best Business School,&#8221;<\/a>&nbsp;and was recently ranked as one of the &#8220;7 Best Business Schools For Careers In CleanTech&#8221; by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessbecause.com\/homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BusinessBecause<\/a>.\r\n\r\nGSOM&rsquo;s newest program is its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/programs\/ms-business-analytics\">Master of Science in Business Analytics<\/a>.
