Youngstown State University’s Williamson College of Business Administration is among less than 5 percent of the world’s business schools.

The school has been reaccredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

The accreditation shows the teaching and research accomplishments of faculty, the partnerships the college has with the community and the opportunities available to students, said Dean Betty Jo Licata.

“AACSB-accredited schools are in 38 countries — 480 of those are in the United States and 16 in Ohio,” she said.

Accreditation allows WCBA to offer students participation in Beta Gamma Sigma, an international business honor society, and Beta Alpha Psi, an honorary organization for financial information students and professionals.
