Under the ACBSP, they act as standard-bearers for continuous improvement and quality assurance in business education.

“Joining ACBSP reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, student-centered business education at Yavapai College.” YC School of Business Associate Dean Dr. Lauri L. Dreher said. “It connects us with a global network of institutions focused on excellence in teaching, learning outcomes, and continuous improvement. This membership positions our School of Business to align with industry-relevant standards and best practices, ensuring our students will be prepared to lead in today’s evolving business landscape.”

As an ACBSP member, YC’s School of Business will gain access to a wide range of resources, including opportunities for accreditation, international conferences, faculty development, student competitions, and publications designed to foster innovation and continuous improvement.
