Swinburne U is accredited by the snappily titled Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
It joins Bond, Curtin Deakin, Griffith, La Trobe, Macquarie and Monash universities, plus QUT and the universities of Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle, Queensland, Sydney and UWA, as well as UTS and UNSW. All are AACSB accredited to teach business. No Australian institutions are AACSB accredited in accounting (although UNSW, Uni Sydney and UnI Melbourne were back in 2013 ( CMM August 22 2013).
AACSB accreditation is the base for international recognition as a serious business school. But a nod from the Association of MBAs helps, (Flinders U, Monash U, QUT). So does a tick from the European EFMD Quality Improvement System, (Bond U, Uni Melbourne, Monash U, QUT, UWA, Uni Queensland, Uni SA, Uni Sydney, UNSW).
