The Black Hills State University College of Business programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which is recognized worldwide for its quality. Graduates from AACSB accredited programs tend to earn higher salaries, work in more prestigious fields and positions, and are more satisfied with their career and educational choices. Only about 6% of colleges and universities that offer business programs have earned this accreditation, and our faculty work hard through their research, teaching, and service projects to maintain this high standard.
