Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.

In 2003, Dicke College of Business Administration was accredited by the AACSB, a formal recognition of the program’s ability to prepare students to become successful business and community leaders.

The Mu Delta chapter of Beta Alpha Psi at Ohio Northern University’s James F. Dicke College of Business Administration has been named a semifinalist for the Beta Alpha Psi Ethics Award sponsored by Grant Thornton LLC.

The 2012-13 award is made up of two parts: an abstract of a planned ethics project and a final submission of the results.

ONU’s abstract outlined a plan to conduct an Ethics Day on campus to provide an avenue for high school students to think about ethical issues.

During the event, Beta Alpha Psi will pose an ethical dilemma to high school students with an emphasis on the importance of ethical behavior and how an ethical decision can be made.
