Accounting Accreditation
The Accounting Program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake has separate accounting accreditation from AACSB International. An Accounting Peer Review Team from AACSB International visited the university in October 2008. Our separate accounting accreditation was reaffirmed in January 2009. Our next visit is scheduled for the academic year 2013-2014. At the present time, only 171 universities from around the world have both accounting and business accreditation. The Accounting Program was commended by AACSB International for the following practices: 1. Strong strategic management plan
2. Effective learning assessment plan
3. Quality of new faculty
4. Relationship with local community colleges
Accounting Enrollment
In the fall of 2009, the Accounting Program had 418 juniors and seniors majoring in accounting and 128 master’s degree candidates.
