Hunt Business
The Woody L. Hunt College of Business holds AACSB accreditation in both business administration and accounting — a global standard of quality, continuous improvement and societal impact in business education.

AACSB International — the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business — is one of the most recognized accrediting bodies for business schools worldwide. Only 2% of institutions offering business degrees worldwide hold AACSB accreditation in both business administration and accounting.

Global standard
AACSB accreditation is a voluntary, nongovernmental process that includes rigorous external review of a school’s mission, faculty qualifications, curriculum and ability to deliver high-quality programs.
Accreditation signals that the college is committed to quality, accountability and continuous improvement.
Dual accreditation
Hunt Business has earned AACSB accreditation for both its business administration and accounting programs.
The college offers the only AACSB-accredited business programs in the El Paso border region, giving students access to a business education backed by external review, high expectations and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Societal impact
Within the AACSB framework, Hunt Business connects educational quality to meaningful impact beyond the classroom. Two priorities guide that work: social mobility and economic development.
At a university nationally recognized for expanding opportunity, Hunt Business helps students translate access into momentum through relevant coursework, internships, mentorship, corporate academies and connections to employers.
The college strengthens the region through workforce preparation, applied and border-focused research, industry partnerships and graduates equipped to contribute across the U.S.–Mexico business environment.
Accreditation is sustained through the shared work of faculty, students, administrators and staff who support academic quality across the college.
Faculty support accreditation through academic integrity, active learning, instructional effectiveness, professional currency, collaboration and timely feedback.
Students contribute through integrity, engagement, persistence, preparation, professionalism and active participation in the learning environment.
The college advances quality through high expectations, student-faculty engagement, innovation, assessment and continuous improvement.

Continuous improvement
AACSB accreditation is not a one-time recognition. It reflects an ongoing commitment to review, improvement and accountability.
Through that process, Hunt Business continues to strengthen the student experience, support faculty excellence, expand opportunity and contribute to the economic vitality of the region.
