OVERLAND PARK, KS, USA (January 4, 2019) —

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Associate Degree Board of Commissioners has reaffirmed accreditation of the associate degree business programs at Saint Paul College.

Celebrating 30 years of excellence in global business program accreditation, ACBSP is the only organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes f​or the business associate degree programs offered through Saint Paul College meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP.

Based on the Baldridge 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 or not the business programs offers a rigorous educational experience and demonstrate continuous quality improvement.

The associate degree business programs at Saint Paul College were first accredited by ACBSP in 2008. The College is required to go through the reaffirmation process every 10 years to maintain ACBSP accreditation. “Saint Paul College 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 Dr. Steve Parscale, who will present the Certificate of Reaffirmation of Accreditation at ACBSP Conference 2019 in Houston, Texas, on June 23.

“This reaffirmation of accreditation is evidence that Saint Paul is committed to maintaining the highest quality business education for their students for the next 10 years, just as they have done since 2008,” said Parscale.
