Accreditation West Texas A&M University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a regional agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. This is the highest accreditation a university can receive and signifies that WTAMU has "a purpose appropriate to higher education and the resources, programs and services sufficient to accomplish and sustain that purpose." The College of Business at West Texas A&M University is in the preliminary stage of seeking accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Accreditation by AACSB is considered the highest-level of business accreditation, achieved by less than 10% of the business schools in the world. At the present time, the College of Business at West Texas A&M University has been approved by AACSB for pre-accreditation consideration. The college is working with a mentor in preparing an initial accreditation plan. The process of earning AACSB accreditation requires many steps over several years. As we move forward on this initiative we need alumni, students, faculty, staff, the business community and other stakeholders to do our collective best to ensure West Texas A&M University continues to improve as a program of excellence.
