Milestones to AACSB International Accreditation
In 2009, the College of Management at I-Shou University applied to join the AACSB, embarking on its journey toward international business accreditation. That same year, the International College was established, and in 2011, the College of Tourism and Hospitality split from the College of Management. Together, these three colleges became the first in the world to pursue AACSB accreditation jointly.
Following four years of comprehensive eligibility reviews and preparatory accreditation cycles, ISU was approved to advance to the initial accreditation phase in November 2015, culminating in official accreditation in February 2016.
