Program Details

The Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business at Saint Louis University is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier business school accrediting body. Achieving AACSB accreditation ensures continuous quality improvement in the learning environment through enhancements to the curriculum, instructional resources, student selection, career planning and placement, and the intellectual contributions and qualifications of the faculty. Approximately 5% of business schools worldwide have achieved AACSB accreditation. The accounting program is also separately accredited by the AACSB, one of only 194 schools to have earned this distinction.

Financial Aid Advantage

There may be a financial aid advantage to this option. Any semester(s) of unused undergraduate University scholarships may be applied while enrolled in master-level coursework. However, undergraduate federal aid would not apply for the masters component of the integrated program. In addition, tuition remission is not considered a university scholarship and, therefore, cannot be used for the masters component of the integrated program.
