AACSB, established in 1916, is the world's largest business education network dedicated to quality assurance and enhancement in business education. It conducts evaluations, reviews, and accreditations of business departments in higher education institutions based on its own standards and is regarded as the most prestigious international accreditation for business education institutions. Currently, about 2,500 universities, representing approximately 5% of the 50,000 business schools and business graduate schools worldwide, have received accreditation.

The IAC consists of 34 appointed deans from accredited business schools worldwide, forming two committees. One dean each from Korea and Japan, and two deans from China have been selected. The committee oversees the application process for universities seeking initial accreditation and approves their initial self-evaluation reports.

Meanwhile, Sejong University's College of Business obtained AACSB reaccreditation in June last year. It was the fourth institution in Korea to receive this accreditation after Seoul National University, KAIST, and Korea University in 2007.
