PARIS, June 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The International School of Management (ISM), an American organization with headquarters in Paris, France and programs in New York, Tokyo and Shanghai, is proud to announce the 10 year, unconditional reaffirmation of accreditation of its business programs -- the MBA, IEMBA, DBA, and Ph.D. -- by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
Founded in 1988, ACBSP recognizes best practices in business education, and accredits qualified business programs. As the leading specialized accreditation association for business education, the ACBSP is recognized for its strong contribution to management education by the US government's Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
"In this ever changing business environment we are constantly reassessing ourselves in relation to our stated Mission and purpose, which requires rigorous critical analysis and strategic planning in order to maintain our high standing in the academic community," commented Executive Director Matthew Werner in a recent interview. "We are increasingly recognized in the international academic community for delivering high quality, effective, graduate and post graduate management education programs. Our doctoral programs, in particular have received heralded praise as a result of the works produced by graduates in both academic and business."
In addition, Professor Simon Peter Horn, Ph.D., LL.M., Dean of ISM, has been appointed to the Board of Commissioners of ACBSP to help other business schools attain the same high standards that have been achieved by ISM's business programs.
Professor Jack Forget, Ph.D., President of ISM, confirmed that, "This is indeed an honor for our institution to have Dean Horn appointed to the ACBSP Board of Commissioners and is seen as confirmation of the 'Five Star' rating of the quality of our academic programs." Professor Forget went on to say that, "This increased international recognition of ISM as a leading international business school is a true testament to the quality of the school's academic program offerings, its expert international faculty -- many of whom commit personal time to serve on various internal academic committees -- sound administrative protocols, dedicated management and staff, and, of course an extremely well-qualified student body. ISM program candidates are truly world leaders in business, politics and education and are one of the schools most cherished assets."
