Since 2015, Kean University College of Business and Public Management has engaged in applying for AACSB Accreditation in order to transform the school into a prominent business school to serve our students, college, and community better.
2017 and 2019, Kean CBPM received several requests for significant improvement for accreditation from AACSB.
In 2019, the New Dean, Dr. Wang Jin's leadership, Kean CBPM, shifted the gear to the AACSB. And, we are heading to the Accreditation.

AACSB PRINCIPLES & STANDARDS:
https://www.aacsb.edu/-/media/documents/accreditation/2020-aacsb-business-accreditation-standards-jul-1-2022.pdf
Guiding Principles and Expectations for Accredited Schools:
*Guiding Principle #1: Ethics and Integrity. The school encourages and supports ethical behavior and integrity by learners, faculty, administrators, and staff in all its activities. The school is expected to have appropriate policies and procedures that attest to a strong emphasis on ethical behavior as well as a mechanism for identifying and remediating behavior by those associated with the conduct of the business school. It is expected that internal disputes between learners and faculty or faculty and administration are dealt with at the school level. In particular, individual faculty personnel disputes are to be dealt with through local school channels. Only pervasive issues with systemic implications rise to the level of AACSB involvement and fall under the purview of this provision (e.g., a pattern of systematic discrimination against a particular group of learners or faculty).
*Guiding Principle #7: Collegiality. The school maintains a collegiate environment. Mutual respected, collaboration, and trust are pursued to enable the business school to promote a positive culture that is supportive of the school's strategic mission and goals, faculty development, learner success, and thought leadership. The school promotes shared governance and active participation by a cross-section of faculty in universally and college service.
