Book Description
Globalization has had a significant impact on management education and curriculum across the world. To assess and guarantee quality education different accreditation bodies have come into existence. In business education, AACSB International (Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business) is highly popular, with a total of 655 accredited institutions out of which 165 are outside of the United States. Its popularity can be attributed to its emphasis on quality standards pertaining to research, mission oriented strategic planning, faculty and student achievements. Globalization and internationalization of curriculum is also an important component integrated within these accreditation standards. Business schools have responded in a variety of ways to meet this global accreditation requirement, schools have study abroad programs, student and faculty exchange programs, international business as one of the business courses on its curriculum, and integration of international dimensions and issues within its business courses. This paper will examine a business school located outside USA and how one of its mandatory graduation requirement for its business students can be considered as internationalization of curriculum.
