The Faculty of Business and Economics at East West University (EWU) has been awarded unconditional accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) for the next ten years.
ACBSP, a US-based accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), announced this recognition following an institutional visit recently, according to a media statement on Sunday.
ACBSP accreditation benefits students, study programs, and faculty as a whole. The program gains international recognition, and degrees and diplomas are widely accepted globally. It provides greater marketability for students giving them a competitive advantage in the hiring process and higher studies abroad.
In addition, EWU has launched an emergency ambulance service to expand its medical services. On December 22, 2024, Professor Dr Mohammed Farashuddin, the chief adviser of the university, handed over the ambulance keys to Professor Dr Shams Rahman, Vice-Chancellor on behalf of the university's Board of Trustees.
The event was attended by members of the Board of Trustees, the Pro-Vice Chancellor, the Treasurer, senior officials, and medical officers and staff.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Shams Rahman said: "The ACBSP accreditation is the ultimate testament to the international standard of our business education. It will create new opportunities for our students and teachers and motivate them further.”
“Launching the ambulance service signifies our commitment to ensuring urgent healthcare services," he added.
