Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) recently announced that Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) has achieved AACSB international accreditation as the first business school in Pakistan to attain this prestigious recognition. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) was founded in 1916 as a non-profit organisation. It has become the most significant accreditation body for business schools, connecting students, educators, and businesses worldwide.

"AACSB Accreditation recognises institutions that have demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development, and student learning," said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International.

AACSB Accreditation provides a framework of 15 international standards against which business schools around the world assess the quality of their educational services.

"Achieving AACSB International accreditation is a resounding external validation of the quality of business programmes offered at LUMS," said the Vice Chancellor, Dr Arshad Ahmad. "This recognition strengthens our collective resolve to achieve excellence through continuous improvement by taking teaching, research, and service to new heights."-PR
