With more than 30 years of promoting excellence in global business program accreditation, ACBSP was the first organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs.

The business programs at American InterContinental University were first accredited by ACBSP in 2011. The university is required to go through the reaffirmation process every 10 years to maintain ACBSP accreditation.
