Assessment Practices in AACSB-Accredited Business Schools
Pringle, Charles; Michel, Mitri
Journal of Education for Business, v82 n4 p202-211 Mar-Apr 2007
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International adopted accreditation standards in 2003 that required business schools to develop new ways of assessing student learning. In this article, the authors report the results of a survey of current assessment practices at 138 AACSB-accredited schools. Of particular interest among the findings are the assessment methods that schools use, including their continuing use of indirect measures, the amount of time that assessment takes, the extent of faculty resistance, and the results that assessment yields. The findings suggest several directions for future research. (Contains 5 tables.)
