Earlier this year, our School has successfully gone through a rigorous assessment and peer review by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). After assessing the School’s commitment to strategic management, innovation, learner success, thought leadership, engagement, and societal impact, AACSB extended the School’s business accreditation status. This reaffirms that the School has not only met AACSB’s stringent multi-dimensional standards, but is also fully committed to continuous improvement.


The AACSB peer review panel particularly commended the School for its solid leadership, high-quality international faculty, strategic research focuses, strong global presence, close corporate partnerships, and outstanding facilities.


HKUST Business School was one of the first Asian business schools accredited by AACSB back in 1999. The School subsequently gained accreditation extension in 2019 and recently in 2024.
