Workshop - “AACSB Training”

Introduction: Training 1 - Faculty Standards and Tables

Faculty resources, including the adequacy and qualifications of faculty, are essential to the success of a business school and a key focus of AACSB Accreditation under the 2020 standards. This workshop will provide actionable insights into completing the AACSB tables (3-1, 3-2, and 8-1) and will help identify best practices for aligning with these standards through effective faculty management and development plans. Examples will be used to learn how to calculate and report on faculty intellectual contributions, sufficiency, qualifications, engagement, and deployment. Participants are encouraged to bring faculty-related data from their own institution to complete tables with their own school’s information.
