Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute recently maintained its business accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a distinction given to fewer than 5 percent of business programs around the world.

“We thank the AACSB for continuing to recognize the quality education we deliver,” Lally School of Management Dean Thomas Begley said. “We are committed to giving Lally School students an exceptional learning environment where they integrate technology across business functions, apply the latest research to real-world business challenges, and engage directly with big data and powerful computing resources through hands-on projects and teamwork from day one. Lally students also benefit from the personal attention they receive in small classes and quality faculty at Rensselaer to enhance their ability to guide businesses toward addressing global grand challenges while they pursue business opportunities.”

The Lally School has been part of Rensselaer since its founding in 1963 and strives to give students the skills needed for business success in the technology-heavy environment.
