The Continuous Improvement Review (CIR) Business Accreditation Application for the AACSB accreditation of Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics (USBE) has been approved.
USBE has held AACSB accreditation since 2018, placing the school within a group of business schools worldwide that meet the organization’s global standards for excellence in education, research, and engagement activities related to societal impact. Maintaining this accreditation enables an ongoing commitment to quality and continuous development.
The CIR application, submitted in November 2025, provides a comprehensive account of USBE’s continuous improvement processes, including developments in education, research, faculty qualifications, and societal engagement. Its approval confirms that USBE continues to meet AACSB’s standards and remains on track for its next full reaccreditation review, scheduled for 2028.
– This milestone reflects the collective efforts of faculty, staff, students, and external partners who contribute to the school’s quality management and strategic development. Their work ensures that USBE continues to strengthen its position as a nationally influential and internationally respected and recognized business school dedicated to sustainable societal development through education and research of a high international standard, says the dean of USBE, Agneta Marell.
