| description | The purpose of this research was to document the extent to which Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)-accredited business schools have implemented strategies to improve students' ability to achieve program learning objectives. Assessment of academic programs is increasingly important at AACSB schools. Compliance with changing accreditation requirements and continuous improvement necessitated revision of assessment methods and modification of programs. Deans at 91 AACSB schools participated in this research. Communication skills were the most-assessed competency. Mandating increased coverage of specific skills or topics across the curriculum was the most frequent change made as a result of assessment. Further studies will be needed to track this dynamic activity. |
