Accreditation:  Winthrop's academic programs are measured by national standards of quality. Our MBA programs are accredited by AACSB-International (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the premier accrediting agency for business school programs. Less than one-third of U.S. business school programs and less than 5% of programs worldwide hold this accreditation. AACSB-International accreditation assures quality and promotes excellence and continuous improvement.

Winthrop University is also accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097; 404-679-4501) to award bachelors, masters and specialist degrees.
