The recent accreditation of the Archie W. Dunham College of Business (DCOB) by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) confirms what we have always believed: that excellence in teaching, genuine care for students and faith-informed leadership are fundamental to higher education.
This achievement reflects years of thoughtful work by faculty, staff and administrators who were willing to evaluate themselves honestly, align their efforts with our mission and continually ask how we can better serve students and society. Accreditation provides external validation, but more importantly, it strengthens internal clarity.
The Archie W. Dunham College of Business prepares students not only for careers, but for lives of integrity, stewardship and service. This accreditation confirms that commitment—and challenges us to continue improving. I am grateful for the leadership that guided this process and proud of what it represents for our students, alumni and broader community.
