The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is an American professional and accreditation organization. It was founded as the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business in 1916 to provide accreditation to business schools.[1]: 2  AACSB is considered as one of the triple accreditation.[2]

Not all members of the association are accredited;[3]: 92  the association also does not accredit for-profit schools.[4] In 2019, the association received ISO 9001 certification.[5] The association was once known as the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business and as the International Association for Management Education.
