This is the most current Quality Assurance (QA) report template. The purpose of the QA report is to keep ACBSP apprised of the institu­tional activities and changes that take place so a determination can be made that the business unit remains in compliance with ACBSP accreditation standards. Any activity or change within the institution and/or the busi­ness unit that alters the status of the business faculty, the business curriculum, resources in support of the business unit or other ACBSP accreditation standards must be reported. The business unit must inform ACBSP how they routinely provide reliable information to the public on their performance, including student achievement, in their quality assurance reports.

Quality Assurance (QA) Reports are due February 27th or September 30th. Each business program was assigned one of these reporting cycles in your letter of accreditation from ACBSP. Submit your completed Quality Assurance Report as an email attachment to reports@acbsp.org.
