Welcome to the School of Business

AACSB International Accreditation Since 1975.

As a member of an elite 5% of business schools worldwide, the School holds dual accreditation from AACSB International — the highest standard of achievement in business education — having earned its initial accreditation in 1975 and aseparate accountancy accreditation in 1987, a distinction held by fewer than 25% of AACSB-accredited institutions globally.

For 20 consecutive years, SIUE has been recognized by The Princeton Review as one of the best business schools in the United States for earning an MBA.

Whether pursuing an undergraduate degree, a graduate program, or professional development, students benefit from a collaborative learning environment supported by distinguished faculty, strong industry connections, and a commitment to preparing graduates for meaningful careers in business and beyond.
