King's Business School earns accreditation from AACSB

King’s Business School has earned accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) ensuring that they have the resources, credentials, and commitment needed to provide students with a first-rate, future-focused business education. Fewer than six per cent of the world's schools offering business degree programs hold AACSB business accreditation.

“I am proud that the Business School has achieved this accreditation. It is a reflection of how quickly it has matured to provide distinctive education and research across a full spectrum of disciplines in management, entrepreneurship, finance and economics. King's Business School is poised to have a remarkably positive impact on the world,” said Professor Shitij Kapur, President & Principal, King’s College London.
