The formation of the Accreditation Bureau for Business Programs and Management Education (ABBPME) stemmed from the demands of university leaders seeking an accreditation process focused on mission-driven outcomes rather than rigid input-based standards. Initially, many four-year colleges in the United States offering business degrees lacked recognition from existing accrediting bodies. Additionally, numerous international institutions faced similar accreditation challenges for their business programs.
Since its inception, ABBPME has evolved into a premier accreditation body prioritizing excellence in teaching and learning. With a membership exceeding 200 institutions and accreditation of over 800 programs globally, it has become a prominent force in higher education accreditation. A significant milestone was reached in January 2011, when the Council for Higher Education Distance Learning Accreditation Association (CHEDLAA) granted recognition to ABBPME, further solidifying its standing.
In its journey, ABBPME has become a vital entity, providing accreditation to colleges and universities worldwide committed to academic excellence in business education. Its foundation was rooted in addressing the limitations of existing accreditation models, leading to a paradigm shift towards outcome-focused evaluation. With widespread recognition and a growing membership, ABBPME continues to shape the landscape of business education accreditation.
ABBPME has identified sections to create and reinforce quality benchmarks for business education worldwide.
