Accredited by AACSB and HLC
One of 17 charter members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business in 1916, the College of Business is accredited in both business and accounting. Less than 1 percent of business schools worldwide have earned AACSB accreditation for both business and accounting.
AACSB initially accredited Nebraska in business in 1916 and accounting in 1984, and most recently reaccredited in 2021. This achievement demonstrates the quality of faculty, relevant and challenging curriculum, and educational and career opportunities found at Nebraska Business.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has held accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) since 1913, with its most recent affirmation in the 2016-17 academic year.
