Accreditation through Baldrige

ACBSP provides accreditation for baccalaureate and graduate degrees for business schools and programs. Schools and programs maintain accreditation by submitting a self-study on the tenth anniversary of receiving initial accreditation. However, they may choose to submit a Baldrige application and feedback report instead of a self-study.

According to ACBSP guidelines, the business unit must have applied at the national, state, or regional level at the highest tier possible and received a feedback report within two years of an ACBSP accreditation cycle.

Details on the accreditation process can be found at ACBSP’s Web site.

Baldrige Goes to College

The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) is holding a two-day workshop on January 11-12, 2010, on “Baldrige Goes to College: Excellence in Higher Education.”

According to the registration site, you will “learn to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of your administrative, student affairs, service, or academic organization through self-assessment, performance measurement, and strategic action planning. Featuring the newly-revised Excellence in Higher Education (EHE) model, which integrates the Malcolm Baldrige framework with the standards and language of regional accrediting associations, this highly interactive workshop provides step-by-step training through presentations and a custom-designed case study. The program includes discussion of how the EHE framework can be used to address accountability, transparency, assessment, and efficiency.”

The workshop will be held at the Westin Harbour Island in Tampa, Florida. For more information, contact Altovise Davis, senior program manager, at 202-861-2586 or adavis@nacubo.org.
