A Message from Dean Donaldson
Published August 4th, 2009
An important message from Dean Kim Donaldson:
I wanted to share some very exciting news just received from ACBSP. Our EMBA has been officially accepted by ACBSP for accreditation. The Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs is the leading specialized accreditation association for business education.
This is a significant achievement for our college and will enhance the value and prestige of our flagship program. As you know, accreditation is an important consideration for students as they decide which school to select and we anticipate this news will have a positive impact on future enrollment. I would like to thank those who contributed to this accomplishment, especially Tom Skochinski, Director of Graduate Programs, who spent an enormous amount of time preparing the formal request.
Congratulations to our students, faculty, staff and graduates on this important milestone.
Best wishes,
Kim Donaldson
Dean, Ken Blanchard College of Business
