Clark University’s Graduate School of Management Is 'Tops'

WORCESTER, MA—Clark University’s Graduate School of Management (GSOM) again earned accreditation by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a recognition received by less than five percent of the world’s business schools, according to an announcement on Thursday.

“We are honored once again to earn AACSB accreditation as one of the world’s best business schools,” said Priscilla Elsass, interim dean for the Graduate School of Management, in a statement. “GSOM continues to offer rigorous programs that include specialized master’s degrees and an MBA within a small, supportive environment. I am proud of our faculty and staff’s commitment to quality and continuous improvement.”

Clark’s GSOM is among 40 business schools to have extended its accreditation in business this year.

“Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development and student learning,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB. “The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.”

GSOM’s newest program is its Master of Science in Business Analytics, launched last summer. The one-year intensive program combines online coursework with an on-campus classroom experience. Its first cohort of students will graduate in May 2018.
