In October, the Hull College was notified that it’s prestigious accreditation from the AACSB—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, was reaffirmed for both its undergraduate and master’s degree programs.
“We are delighted with the AACSB recommendation to award full reaccreditation to the Hull College of Business.” says Dr. Samuel Sullivan, vice president for academic affairs at Augusta State. “The Hull College faculty members, under Dr. Marc Miller’s leadership, have done an outstanding job in maintaining the quality of its programs and in providing an exceptional learning environment for Hull students. It is a great achievement for the university for the Hull College to earn this continued distinguished recognition by the AACSB.”
In a letter from Richard A. Cosier, chair of the board of AACSB, the agency commended the college on the following strengths and effective practices:
- Every graduating student of Hull College of Business is required to go through an exit interview. Feedback provided by the students during the exit interview has been shared with faculty members for further improvement on course design or curriculum modification.
- The newly launched “Focus on Ethics” speaker series will sensitize the faculty and students to various ethical issues in doing business and help them see how the real-world business organizations deal with ethical dilemmas and social responsibilities.
- The level of student diversity achieved by Hull College of Business is excellent for a business school of this size.
- In the past two years, a culture of assessment has been nurtured under the leadership of the new dean.
- The fund raising effort has been highly successful since the current dean took office, evidenced by the major contribution made by James M. Hull to endow the business school with his name and other pending gifts.
The accreditation extends for an additional six years, and the next on-site review will occur in the fifth year, 2012-13.
