Concordia University Irvine has received specialized accreditation for its business programs through the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE), located at 11374 Strang Line Road in Lenexa, Kansas, USA, the leading outcomes-based professional accrediting organization for business programs in student-centered colleges around the world.

Concordia's School of Business and Economics program has received accreditation by the IACBE in four program areas:

  1. Master of Business Administration
  2. Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration and Emphases
    • Business Data Analytics
    • Finance
    • International Business
    • Management
    • Marketing
    • Sports Business
  3. Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration with an Emphasis
    • Accounting
  4. Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics

IACBE accreditation helps to ensure that your business degree is one of quality. Our programs have undergone a rigorous self-evaluation and on-site evaluation by highly-trained reviewers. In addition, CUI and its academic business unit have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in business education and are involved in a continuous quality improvement process based on the assessment of student learning outcomes.

Accreditation is a quality assurance process in which an institution voluntarily undergoes an external and independent appraisal of its educational activities. Programmatic accreditation by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education is mission-driven and outcomes-based, and involves an independent, external evaluation of business programs. Effectiveness is evaluated by reviewing the educational processes related to teaching and learning in the institution, and by an assessment of the outcomes of the teaching-learning process.

This comprehensive, peer review process culminates in a review by the IACBE Board of Commissioners who will determine the accreditation status of the institution’s business programs. During its last review, the IACBE found that the School of Business and Economics met or exceeded compliance with the eight IACBE principles: Commitment to Integrity, Responsibility, and Ethical Behavior; Quality Assessment and Advancement; Strategic Planning; Business Curricula and Learning Opportunities; Business Faculty Characteristics, Activities, and Processes; Student Policies, Procedures, and Processes; Resources Supporting Business Programs; External Relationships. During the peer review visit, the School of Business and Economics was commended for "its excellent work in engaging advisory board members in the activities of the school and in selecting highly-committed and involved advisory board members". Advisory boards are critical members of the Concordia business community and are instrumental in strategic planning, career alignment, alumni relations, networking with employers, career preparation, and industry trends.

The IACBE accreditation evaluates academic quality in terms of educational outcomes and must be renewed annually. It is valid for a maximum of seven years, through July 2023.
