The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) Initial Accreditation Committee (IAC) voted to accept the Initial Self Evaluation Report update (iSER update) submitted by our school. The decision letter has been sent to us on 24^thDecember. IAC recommended us to begin the process of preparing for a peer review team visit after we file the application for the initial accreditation visit. At the same time, the school needs to develop the final Self-Evaluation Report (SER) and submit the report at least 4 months prior to the visit.

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), founded in 1916, provides internationally recognized, specialized accreditation for business and accounting programs at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral level. Only less than 5% of business schools around the world have achieved this elite accreditation.

In early 2014, our school launched AACSB accreditation. Making progress on accreditation work this time means that the quality of the school and development prospects have once again been recognized.（Author：GUO Lijing）
