- 26.09.07 / 홍유민
In August 2026, the College of Business Administration at Kookmin University joined the Business Education Alliance of the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the world’s largest business education network.
Founded in 1916, AACSB is a global standards-setting body for business education that grants accreditation to approximately 1,000 business schools in over 100 countries worldwide. This represents only about 6% of all educational institutions worldwide that award business degrees, and includes world-renowned business schools such as Harvard and Stanford. The AACSB network comprises over 2,000 member institutions.
Kookmin University’s College of Business is a time-honored educational institution that has been part of the history of business education in Korea since its inception, beginning with the establishment of the Department of Economics and Commerce in 1958. It changed its name to the Department of Business Administration in 1968 and became an independent School of Business within the College of Business in 2006, having grown steadily for over half a century.
Today, Kookmin University’s business education comprises a comprehensive system consisting of the College of Business—which includes undergraduate, general graduate, and MBA programs—as well as several specialized educational institutions focused on specific fields, such as KIBS (KMU International Business School), the Graduate School of Business IT, and the Graduate School of Global Entrepreneurship and Venture. These extensive educational resources, ranging from undergraduate programs to specialized graduate schools, serve as a solid foundation for Kookmin University’s leap forward as a member of the global business education network.
The mission of Kookmin University’s College of Business, “Creating the Wave,” embodies its identity as an educational and research institution that generates meaningful waves of change for businesses and society. The attainment of AACSB accreditation will serve as a strong foundation for expanding this mission onto the global stage. Through exchanges with leading universities worldwide and innovations rooted in the “Creating the Wave” philosophy, the College of Business aims to emerge as a key driver of sustainable change for businesses and society.
