MBA Accreditation

Minnesota State University Moorhead’s Paseka School of Business is accredited by the AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International), an organization founded in 1916. As of April 2024, there are over 1,021 AACSB-accredited business schools in over 65 countries and territories. AACSB’s mission is to elevate the quality and impact of business schools globally.  AACSB accreditation is the mark of quality distinction most widely sought after by business schools—less than 6% worldwide have earned the achievement. As the premier membership and accrediting body for institutions offering undergraduate, master’s and doctorate degrees in business and accounting, the association also conducts various conferences and seminar programs.

Minnesota State University Moorhead has been approved by the State of Minnesota to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education.

Student Consumer Complaint Process

Pursuant to the United States Department of Education’s Program Integrity Rule, institutions providing online education are required to provide all prospective and current students contact information of the state agency or agencies that handle complaints against postsecondary education institutions offering distance learning within that state.

We encourage you to seek resolution to any concerns by discussing them informally with a staff member at the University. If a complaint cannot be handled informally, MSUM students are encouraged to use our University’s complaint process, outlined in the Student Handbook.

If a complaint cannot be resolved at the University level, you may contact the Minnesota Office of Higher Education or the Higher Learning Commission. If you reside in another state, you may contact your local state agency for further information.
