Accreditation & Ranking
Accreditation
SAIF earned international accreditation from The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) on February 28, 2016 and became one of the youngest AACSB-accredited business schools in the world. In 2021, AACSB extended SAIF's accreditation for an additional five years.

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation represents the highest standards in business education and has been earned by only less than 5 percent of the world's business schools.
Synonymous with the highest standards of excellence since 1916, AACSB provides quality assurance, business education intelligence, and professional development services to over 1,600 member organizations and more than 800 accredited business schools worldwide. Four out of five alumni from AACSB-accredited schools say their graduate management education has contributed to improvements in their competitiveness, drive, innovation, and creativity.
