Gustavson Earns 5 Year EQUIS Accreditation

The Peter B. Gustavson School of Business joined an elite grouping in the world of business education when it was recently awarded EQUIS accreditation for five years. The Gustavson School of Business (GSB) has enjoyed EQUIS accreditation since 2007, but in three-year increments. The five-year accreditation span is a great vote of confidence from the international body.

We would like to thank our international partners for the support and contributions they have made to our growth and development.  We appreciate your influence and high standards which has allowed us to improve substantially in the last five years,  

Five-year EQUIS accreditation reinforces GSB’s status as a formidable player on the global business education stage.
