To our business school colleagues:


It’s a great day when acronyms make you proud. AACSB. NASPAA. CAHME. Many of you know these accreditation agencies for, respectively, business, public administration, and healthcare administration programs. As you're aware, their goal is to ensure the highest levels of excellence for business schools around the world.


For the past year or so, I’ve been reminding alumni, parents, prospective students, and many other constituencies that Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School is the only US business school to hold accreditation from all three.

 

That’s a special honor, one that reflects our unique location and integrated expertise at the intersection of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Business students increasingly need to understand not just their own track, but other sectors of the global economy as well. Here at the Sawyer Business School, we are committed to giving all our students a rigorous and truly well-rounded business education—one with purpose. I invite you to learn more about us.
