Truett McConnell University is proud to announce that its Hans Hut School of Business has received the prestigious notification of candidacy from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.

This significant recognition comes shortly after the university’s recent membership acknowledgment by the council, further highlighting the institution’s commitment to excellence in business education.

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs is a leading specialized business accreditation association dedicated to advancing the standards of business education on a global scale. As a non-profit organization, it focuses on enhancing educational quality management and ensuring rigorous adherence to the highest industry standards. Consequently, their requirements for participation are stringent and demand a serious commitment from their members.
